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
