The Go Frontend for GCC
Abstract
A description of the Go language frontend for gcc. This is a new frontend which is
a complete implementation of the new Go programming language. The frontend is
currently some 50,000 lines of C++ code, and uses its own IR which is then
converted to GENERIC. I describe the structure of the frontend and the IR, issues
that arise when compiling the Go language, and issues with hooking up any frontend
to the gcc middle-end.
