Re: gcc frontend?

Hi folks,

I am trying to create a new gcc frontend, preferably using my OS X box and Apple's supplied gcc as the foundation, but having some difficulties.

I first tried getting the "current" gcc from savannah, but that didn't want to compile at all with the gcc4.0 I have on my machine. The errors didn't look like I would be able to overcome them easily.

What is the error?


- Is gcc-1765 really a good base?  What would be a good/better base?
-
- Where could I get that?
- Any other recommendations?

Apple's gcc is not really a good place for working on a new front-end for GCC really.
Also Apple's GCC depends on things being declared and really only supports the
C family front-ends as you found out.


I would use the mainline FSF gcc. There are only a few features which are in
Apple's gcc which are not in the FSF's gcc. Most of them are C family based features
which should not matter to a new front-end.
