| <p>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 the compilers |
| (Linaro GCC 4.9-2017.01) |
| version 4.9.4. The use of the GNU compilers is documented in a |
| separate manual. See <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/index.html#Top">Introduction</a> in <cite>Using the GNU |
| Compiler Collection (GCC)</cite>. |
| </p> |
| <p>This manual is mainly a reference manual rather than a tutorial. It |
| discusses how to contribute to GCC (see <a href="Contributing.html#Contributing">Contributing</a>), the |
| characteristics of the machines supported by GCC as hosts and targets |
| (see <a href="Portability.html#Portability">Portability</a>), how GCC relates to the ABIs on such systems |
| (see <a href="Interface.html#Interface">Interface</a>), and the characteristics of the languages for |
| which GCC front ends are written (see <a href="Languages.html#Languages">Languages</a>). 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. |
| </p> |
| <p>Additional tutorial information is linked to from |
| <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/readings.html">http://gcc.gnu.org/readings.html</a>. |
