You should look at some of Andi's and my work http://code.redbrain.co.uk/cgit.cgi/gccpy/ check out the 2 branches gcalc and the documentation one. The gcalc front-end is a very simple basic front-end with no frills. Or even check out gccpy or golang. Fortran and Java front-ends are good when you start to get more comfortable with front-end development. Hope this helps. Looks like you may have some problems in your compiler driver. --Phil On 28 June 2012 19:18, Ian Lance Taylor <iant@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Josh Reese <jreeseue@xxxxxxxxx> writes: > >> Thanks for your prompt reply.
