EDG C/C++ Front-End Open-Sourced
The Edison Design Group has open-sourced its C/C++ front-end, the long-proprietary compiler front-end technology widely licensed by compiler vendors and used in commercial toolchains. The move puts one of the industry's most established parsing codebases into open source, and developers are discussing its implications for GCC, Clang and proprietary compiler projects.
Why now: Release of a long-proprietary compiler technology as open source is significant news for the compiler and developer tooling community.
