Oh, crap. This is *not* an auspicious beginning. This message fragment was sent from Outlook, which does not have a good working relationship with the e-mail handler my company uses. Please ignore this while I painfully reconstruct the much longer message that those two programs managed to lose, dammit.
Bob Dubner. From: Robert Dubner <rdub...@symas.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2024 14:01 To: 'GCC Mailing List' <gcc@gcc.gnu.org> Subject: New feature -fdump-gimple-nodes I have not contributed to GCC before, so I am not sure how to go about it. So, I am letting you know what I want to do, so that I can get advice on the best way to do it. I have read https://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html, and I have Jim Lowden and I have been developing a COBOL front end for GCC. He's primarily been parsing the language. It's been my task to generate the GENERIC/GIMPLE trees for the parsed code. We've been working at this for a couple of years. We have reached the point where we want to start submitting patches for the community to evaluate. I figured I would start small, where "small" means mainly one new source code file of 1,580 lines.
