EDG C++ Compiler is open source
The EDG C/C++ compiler project has been released as an open-source repository, focusing primarily on its front-end component. The project is designed for high compatibility with major compilers like Clang, GCC, and MSVC, ensuring broad source code support. It also includes various back-end tools and utilities for code generation, transformation, and development.
- ▪The EDG C/C++ front end is the primary focus of the open-source repository.
- ▪The compiler is known for its excellent parsing compatibility and bug emulation to match Clang, GCC, and MSVC behavior.
- ▪The project includes a C-generating back end and a C++-generating back end for source-to-source transformation.
- ▪Additional components include a prelinker for automatic template instantiation and a minimal runtime support library.
- ▪Users are recommended to clone the repository using a partial clone method to optimize download size.

EDG Compiler Project Welcome to the open source EDG C/C++ compiler project! About The EDG C/C++ front end is the primary focus of this repository. The EDG front end is known for: its excellent parsing compatibility and bug emulation, to make sure source that compiles with Clang, GCC, and MSVC compiles with EDG; extensive documentation, to assist with development and modification; and extreme configurability, to allow it to be derived for use into a large number of C/C++ oriented products.
