| |
| This is a compiler frontend for the Go programming language |
| (http://golang.org/). The frontend was originally developed at |
| Google, and was released in November 2009. It was originally written |
| by Ian Lance Taylor <iant@golang.org>. |
| |
| It was originally written for GCC (http://gcc.gnu.org/). As of this |
| writing it only supports GCC, but the GCC support has been separated |
| from the rest of the frontend, so supporting another compiler is |
| feasible. |
| |
| The go subdirectory holds the frontend source code. This is mirrored |
| to the gcc/go subdirectory in the GCC repository. |
| |
| The libgo subdirectory holds the library source code. This is a copy |
| of the main Go library with various changes appropriate for this |
| compiler. The main Go library is hosted at |
| http://go.googlesource.com/go, in the src directory. The libgo |
| subdirectory is mirrored to the libgo subdirectory in the gcc |
| repository. |
