@top Introduction

|
@cindex introduction
|
|
|
|
This manual documents the internals of the GNU compilers, including
|
|
how to port them to new targets and some information about how to
|
|
write front ends for new languages. It corresponds to GCC version
|
|
@value{version-GCC}. The use of the GNU compilers is documented in a
|
|
separate manual. @xref{Top,, Introduction, gcc, Using the GNU
|
|
Compiler Collection (GCC)}.
|
|
|
|
This manual is mainly a reference manual rather than a tutorial. It
|
|
discusses how to contribute to GCC (@pxref{Contributing}), the
|
|
characteristics of the machines supported by GCC as hosts and targets
|
|
(@pxref{Portability}), how GCC relates to the ABIs on such systems
|
|
(@pxref{Interface}), and the characteristics of the languages for
|
|
which GCC front ends are written (@pxref{Languages}). It then
|
|
describes the GCC source tree structure and build system, some of the
|
|
interfaces to GCC front ends, and how support for a target system is
|
|
implemented in GCC@.
|
|
|
|
Additional tutorial information is linked to from
|
|
@uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/readings.html}.

GCC's command line options are indexed here without any initial @samp{-}
|
|
or @samp{--}. Where an option has both positive and negative forms
|
|
(such as @option{-f@var{option}} and @option{-fno-@var{option}}),
|
|
relevant entries in the manual are indexed under the most appropriate
|
|
form; it may sometimes be useful to look up both forms.
