Passing over a file in what format? If you are writing a COBOL to C translator, that will certainly be fine. If you are emitting GENERIC or GIMPLE, you are much better off implementing your FE like any other GCC FE. Fortran is a good example of an FE that is totally independent from the rest of GCC. It hands out a GENERIC representation built out of its internal data structures. Otherwise, you will need to translate to GIMPLE, stream it out from the COBOL FE and feed it into the LTO FE. Diego.
