EDG C++ Compiler Released as Open Source

Original: EDG C++ Compiler is open source https://github.com/edgcpp/compiler # HackerNews # Tech # OpenSource

The EDG C++ compiler, long known as one of the most proprietary front ends in the industry, has been released as open source, with code available on GitHub. The move is drawing attention among compiler developers and standards implementers, since EDG's front end has historically been widely licensed for conformance testing but never publicly accessible.

Why now: The open sourcing of a famously proprietary compiler front end is a major and unexpected event for the C++ community.
