github.com/guyezi/gofrontend@v0.0.0-20200228202240-7a62a49e62c0/README (about) 1 A Go frontend 2 ============= 3 4 Ian Lance Taylor 5 iant@golang.org 6 Last update 15 June 2014 7 8 This is a compiler frontend for the Go programming language 9 (http://golang.org/). The frontend was originally developed at 10 Google, and was released in November 2009. It was originally written 11 by Ian Lance Taylor <iant@golang.org>. 12 13 It was originally written for GCC (http://gcc.gnu.org/). As of this 14 writing it only supports GCC, but the GCC support has been separated 15 from the rest of the frontend, so supporting another compiler is 16 feasible. 17 18 The go subdirectory holds the frontend source code. This is mirrored 19 to the gcc/go subdirectory in the GCC repository. 20 21 The libgo subdirectory holds the library source code. This is a copy 22 of the main Go library with various changes appropriate for this 23 compiler. The main Go library is hosted at 24 http://go.googlesource.com/go, in the src directory. The libgo 25 subdirectory is mirrored to the libgo subdirectory in the gcc 26 repository. 27 28 29 Legal Matters 30 ============= 31 32 To contribute patches to the files in this directory, please see 33 http://golang.org/doc/gccgo_contribute.html . 34 35 The master copy of these files is hosted at 36 http://go.googlesource.com/gofrontend (there is a mirror at 37 http://github.com/golang/gofrontend).
