EDG C/C++ Front-End Goes Open Source
Original: EDG C/C++ Front-End Open-Sourced
The EDG C/C++ front-end, a long-standing proprietary compiler front-end used in commercial and embedded toolchains, has been released as open source, according to a report by Phoronix. The move is drawing attention from compiler developers and embedded systems engineers, who see potential for wider scrutiny, porting work, and reuse of the code across tooling projects.
Why now: The open-sourcing of a widely used proprietary compiler front-end is a notable shift for the developer toolchain community.
