Question about gimple frontend

[Lyu Mitnick]

Hello Ian,

Thanks for your reply. I have check out the source code from gimple-front-end
branch, and build gimple1 successfully. However neither took the example of
GimpleFrontEnd wiki nor *.gimple in gcc/testsuite/gimple.dg as input, gimple1
just check/parse but output nothing in *.s. My running script is as follows:

$ gimple1 20120523-1.gimple

I am wondering whether I misuse gimple1 or the project status is systax checking
only.

Thanks a lot
