The compiler currently includes front ends for: |
As of version 3.0, the compiler includes front ends for: |
* Ada (see GNAT?) * CHILL? (what's current state of this?) |
It can produce code to run on many different processors and operating systems. |
A front end for CHILL? was previously included, but has been dropped due to lack of maintenance. A front end for Ada (GNAT?) is available separately, and will be included with GCC in version 3.1. GCC can produce code to run on many different processors and operating systems. |
