It your wanting to output C code i dont understand why you want to write a Front-end. When people do that generally you simply have your compiler that calls GCC. But why not just use GCC in the end writing GENERIC is fairly easy when you get used to it. Lang_parse_files is called after you all your argument handling code in the langhooks. --Phil On 10 July 2012 15:59, Josh Reese <jreeseue@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Ah perfect.

It looks like what happened was I had mixed up my driver and compiler in the lang-spec.h file. So, after looking much through gcalc I realized my error and was able to get everything running for the most part. However, once everything was installed and I run my driver: >>>>>>> ./goas -v test.oas >>>>>>> it doesn't appear that the lang_specific_driver function is being called at all. I've created basically a skeleton version of gcalc but am not sure what is preventing gcc from calling my driver. I haven't seen anything in the language configuration files or anything that seems to have any relevance to this. I'm wondering if you guys have any ideas on this one. Thanks again for the help, I do sincerely appreciate it. >>>>>>> >>>>>>> Cheers, >>>>>>> Josh >>>>>>> >>>>>>> On Jun 30, 2012, at 5:00 PM, Philip Herron wrote: >>>>>>> >>>>>>>> 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.
