EDG C/C++ Front-End Open-Sourced

Edison Design Group has open-sourced its C/C++ front-end, the compiler component long licensed to tool vendors and used in commercial compilers. The move puts a mature, widely relied-upon parsing and semantic-analysis engine into open source, a notable shift for a company whose front-ends were previously proprietary. Developers are discussing what this means for compiler tooling and alternatives like Clang.

Why now: A long-proprietary compiler front-end becoming open source is a significant event for the compiler and developer-tools community.
