---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Andi Hellmund <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: 2011/3/7 Subject: "White paper" about GCC front-end internals To: gcc-help@xxxxxxxxxxx, gcc@xxxxxxxxxxx Hey ALL, after some time of source code investigations, testing and experiments, I finally bundled my experiences with GCC front-ends in a "white paper" about the internals of GCC front-ends. It is not really structured like a tutorial, but it should hopefully be usuable by GCC newbies to speed up the introduction into GCC. The white paper is available at: http://blog.lxgcc.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/GCC_frontend.pdf I'm pretty sure that this paper still contains some errors or even conceptual mis-understandings, though I would appreciate to get feedback of any kind about what could be improved/changed/removed. Once, all erros and mis-understandings are removed, I would then put some important extracts of this paper into the GCC internals documentation to serve as a base for future front-end documentations. Thanks for your feedback and time, Andi
