Hi there,
Warning: Newbie content!
I have started a project to create a PL/I front end for gcc.
(http://pl1gcc.sourceforge.net)
The scanner and parser now recognizes a PL/I like syntax.
In order to proceed to build a real frontend, I have some questions, and more
are likely to follow.
First question: Is this list the right for questions regarding development of
new frontends for gcc?
Even though a real compiler is likely to take quite some time to finish, I
would like to know if there is any reservations wrt. to the name of the
frontend. And also is it safe assume the file extionens pl1 or pli is not
used for something else?
Also, does anyone have some references for doing two-pass parsing using gcc?
keep hacking
Henrik
