| <p>GCC plugin is a loadable module that provides extra |
| features to the compiler, which they can further pass |
| around as a shareable module. |
| </p> |
| <p>GCC plugins provide developers with a rich subset of |
| the GCC API to allow them to extend GCC as they see fit. |
| Whether it is writing an additional optimization pass, |
| transforming code, or analyzing information, plugins |
| can be quite useful. |
