Hello all,
As far as I know, GCC 4.x is easily retargetable for a new architecture.
I would be interested by source-to-source compilation with the GCC
framework. For instance, let's say the input language is C and the
output language is C annotated with pragmas which are the results of
some code analysis (done at middle-end level). I do not think that the
GCC back-end could support a programming language such as C, C++ or Java.
Is GCC 4.x designed to source-to-source compilation ? Is that possible
or do I miss something here ?
It is not always possible. GCC is certainly not designed for it. You
will have problems mostly with types and decls, which are hard to
reproduce from the intermediate representation once it has been
lowered to GIMPLE.
