November 12, 2003 previous gcc front-end attempts? | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Can someone summarize what happened to the previous attempts to get a D front-end? I read some of the post in this newsgroup and it seemed like the D frontend was successfully compiled by gcc. I just tried adding a .cpp file to the sample front-end "treelang" that comes with GCC and it looks like that will work as long as you compile it with an existing g++ and not xgcc (the compiler from the previous bootstrap stage). How far had people gotten with the interface between gcc backend and D front-end? -Ben |

Correct, and it should be available for download @ www.opend.org However, this frontend is and old one. > I just tried adding a .cpp file to the sample front-end "treelang" that > comes with GCC and it looks like that will work as long as you compile it > with an existing g++ and not xgcc (the compiler from the previous bootstrap > stage). > How far had people gotten with the interface between gcc backend and D > front-end?

Posted in reply to Jan Knepper | Does this use gcc's "main" or D's "main"? I don't see the gcc Make-lang.in, config-lang.in, etc so I'm guessing it uses D's main. -Ben "Jan Knepper" <jan@smartsoft.us> wrote in message news:bou9jv$pbm$1@digitaldaemon.com... > Ben Hinkle wrote: > > Can someone summarize what happened to the previous attempts to get a D > > front-end? > > I read some of the post in this newsgroup and it seemed like the D frontend > > was successfully compiled by gcc. > > Correct, and it should be available for download @ www.opend.org However, this frontend is and old one. > > > I just tried adding a .cpp file to the sample front-end "treelang" that comes with GCC and it looks like that will work as long as you compile it > > with an existing g++ and not xgcc (the compiler from the previous bootstrap > > stage). > > How far had people gotten with the interface between gcc backend and D > > front-end? > > Some, mostly study... > > Jan > > -- > ManiaC++ > Jan Knepper > |

It was simply made sure that you can compile the front-end using the GCC compiler. > I don't see the gcc Make-lang.in, config-lang.in, etc so I'm guessing it > uses D's main. Whew, this stuff makes me sick. :) -eye |
