Re: [9fans] EDG C++ compiler

[Steve Simon]

hi, ten or so years ago i spent several months trying to get cfront to a state where it could be useful. i would honestly advise ignoring it and redirecting your effort to EDG, even if you can get cfront to work the dialect of c++ it implements is so historic it is of little use.  just my 2c worth. -Steve On 4 Oct 2026, at 7:31 am, Jens Staal <staal1...@gmail.com> wrote:  Wow I did not know that it had gone open source. I am definitely interested in it for my APExp project. I am still struggling to get cfront to work (here I am building on a pre-translated code base so in principle I could do the same for edg). I will have to look in to it, because it sounds very interesting. Den sön 4 okt. 2026 kl 07:43 skrev <arn...@skeeve.com>: Never mind. It needs g++ 5.2.0 or clang 3.4 or later to build. I should have known that a C++ compiler in C would be too good to be true. Hmmm. It has a C++ to C back end. That might could be used for bootstrapping.  In any case, it's likely too big a project.
