EDG C++ Compiler Front End Released as Open Source

Original: The EDG C++ Compiler Frontend Has Been Open Sourced

Edison Design Group has open sourced its C++ compiler front end, a long-commercial codebase widely licensed by other compiler vendors for standards conformance. The move puts one of the industry's most respected parsing and template-implementation engines into public view, and developers are discussing what it means for GCC, Clang and C++ tooling generally. Details of the license terms and what exactly was released remain a focus of conversation.

Why now: A famously proprietary, industry-standard C++ front end becoming open source is a major and unexpected event for the compiler community.
