EDG makes its C++ front-end publicly available

Original: EDG C++ front-end goes public https://edgcpp.org/#transition # HackerNews # Tech # Cpp

Edison Design Group, the long-standing independent compiler front-end vendor, has announced that its C++ front-end is going public, with details posted on a new site describing the transition. The EDG front-end has been licensed for decades by major compiler and tooling vendors but was never directly available to the wider community. Developers are discussing what the change could mean for C++ tooling and open-source compilers.

Why now: The EDG front-end was previously available only to commercial licensees, so opening it up is a major surprise for the C++ compiler and tooling community.
