EDG C++ Compiler is open source

The EDG C++ compiler is now open-sourced by Synopsys, a leading provider of high-quality and highly-optimized compiler technology. The EDG C++ compiler is designed to support a wide range of C++ standards, including C++11, C++14, C++17, and C++20. It also supports various C++ dialects, such as GNU C++, Microsoft Visual C++, and Clang. The compiler is built on top of the EDG front end, which is a widely-used, highly-optimized, and highly-flexible front end that can be used as a building block for other compilers. The EDG C++ compiler is intended to be used as a drop-in replacement for existing C++ compilers, and it can be used for a variety of purposes, including building and debugging applications, as well as for static analysis and code generation. The open-sourcing of the EDG C++ compiler aims to foster collaboration and innovation in the C++ community, and to provide a high-quality, open-source alternative to existing C++ compilers.
