EDG C++ Compiler is open source

The EDG C/C++ compiler project has gone open source. This repository primarily focuses on the EDG front end, which is renowned for its compatibility with Clang, GCC, and MSVC compilers, comprehensive documentation, and high degree of configurability, making it suitable for integrating into various C/C++ products. The project also encompasses a C-generating back end for producing C code from C++ programs, a C++-generating back end for source-to-source transformation applications, a prelinker for automatic template instantiation, a minimal runtime support library, utilities for handling the intermediate language, a name demangler, and a range of development tools.

Detailed documentation can be accessed at https://edgcpp.org/doc/. To build a local copy of the documentation, refer to the documentation build guide. For those interested in contributing to the front end, the contribution guide and development guide are available to help with getting started. Additional resources like tips, tricks, and tutorials for developers, both human and AI, can be found in the development annex.
