- Subject: Inquiry: GCC front-end requirements
Hello
My name is Slawomir Lisznianski and I'm co-authoring a new language
specification and its reference implementation. The language is called
C2 and it maintains almost all aspects of the C++ and C languages, while
simplifying memory management and data referencing. C2 unifies the
notion of a value-type, pointer and a reference, aiming to help in
development of template metaprogramming libraries and policy-based
designs.
The C2 reference implementation will be done using GNU Compiler
Collection, and will be distributed under GPL.
Gord Eagle, originator of the GNU Libtool, will be working on the GCC
front-end, called gc2.
Although our project is in its incubation stage, we would like to
inquiry about the requirements for a front-end to be part of the GCC
distribution. Keeping those requirements in mind will assist us in the
development of gc2 and provide a doorway for possibly merging the
front-end into GCC distribution.
Regards,
Slawomir Lisznianski
