Hi Duncan,

Thanks for your kind response! My sincere thanks goes to you, the core 
developer of llvm-gcc and dragonegg 
http://llvm.org/devmtg/2009-10/Sands_LLVMGCCPlugin.pdf

dragonegg release_33 is still able to work happily for GCC v4.6.3 and 
LLVM v3.3 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DFtthrTVoAEhnhA.jpg


> IIRC I did it this way because to generate these files you need to 
have theentire GCC sources, while one of the goals of dragonegg was that 
in order to beable to build dragonegg you should only need to have the 
gcc headers installed.


Yes, it is for the benefit of the dragonegg maintainers, and I built GCC 
v4.6.3 and v6.3 by myself https://github.com/xiangzhai/dragonegg/wiki/GGC

but after GCC v4.x, the API of GCC v5.x, v6.x, v7.x and v8.x (git master 
branch) had been changed a lot, so I am trying to migrate dragonegg for 
GCC v6.3 and LLVM v3.9 https://reviews.llvm.org/D35667

could you give me some hint, thanks a lot!
