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
