Hello, For one of my projects at university I have to create specific optimization for GCC (in general I have to find arithmetic operations in basic blocks and modify them a bit). I have some idea about compilation process etc. but i't more theoretical then practical knowledge. Now I'm slowly learning about GCC internals and as I see I can "easily" solve my problem by writing plugin in C. On the other hand I found MELT project. At the moment I'm in point in which I'm not sure which path I should choose: write MELT extension or write plugin in C. I can also mention that my target is GCC 4.5. Actually I don't know how can I treat plugins support in GCC. It's low-level infrastructure for projects like MELT or straight way to write static optimization?
