  GNU Compiler Collection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
GCC was originally written by Richard Stallman in 1987 as the compiler for the GNU Project, in order to have a compiler available that was free software.
GCC developers have given this part of the compiler the somewhat contradictory name the "middle end." These optimizations include dead code elimination, partial redundancy elimination, global value numbering, sparse conditional constant propagation, and scalar replacement of aggregates.
The behavior of the GCC back end is partly specified by preprocessor macros and functions specific to a target architecture, for instance to define the endianness, word size, and calling conventions.

 GCC Abstract Syntax Tree
The GCC Abstract syntax tree is an intermediate representation used by the GCC compiler.
However, the meaning of a tree is somewhat different for different language front-ends, and front-ends can provide their own tree codes.
The tree is a c language union, a concept related to the Set theoretic union of the various Abstract_syntax_tree_tree_types[?] types that are subdivided by codes Abstract_syntax_tree_tree_code[?].

 redhat.com | Red Hat Magazine - From Source to Binary: The Inner Workings of GCC
Trees are mostly used as a stepping stone in the generation of RTL.
The C parser generates C trees, the C++ parser generates C++ trees, etc. Each version is different in its own way, so analyzes and optimizations on trees would require N different implementations, one for each front end.
Optimizing the tree representation in GCC is appealing because (a) it facilitates the implementation of new analyzes and optimizations closer to the source and (b) it simplifies the work of the RTL optimizers, potentially speeding up the compilation process or improving the generated code.

 GNU Compiler Collection
GCC has been adopted as the main compiler used to build and develop for a number of systems, including GNU/Linux, the BSDss, Mac OS X, NeXTSTEP and BeOS.
Additional processors, such as the D10V and Z8000, have been supported by GCC versions maintained separately from the FSF version.
However, confusingly, the meaning of a tree is somewhat different for different language front-ends, and front-ends can provide their own tree codes.

 LWN: GCC gets a new Optimizer Framework
Older versions of GCC used this framework mostly for local optimizations, but such limited optimizations are insufficient for modern architectures with RISC-like properties and a significant difference between the speed of the chip and of memory access.
Still, a compiler with the Tree SSA passes enabled is not significantly slower than the recently released GCC 3.4.0, and a number of very expensive passes in the RTL framework have already been subsumed by Tree SSA passes.
The main reason is that the GCC infrastructure does not directly support the notion of generating code for two different backends at the same time and it is not trivial to add support for such a thing.

 Abstract Syntax Tree Optimizations - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)
GCC, in common with many other compilers, has more than one internal representation of a program.
The trees, (or formally abstract syntax trees - ASTs) are generated during parsing, and are close to the source language semantics.
GCC has a number of AST optimizations that attempt to optimize trees during parsing.

 GCC definition, funtions, advantages, application
The GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) is widely regarded as the most important piece of open source software.
The GCC was originally developed by Richard Stallman as part of his GNU project, which is aimed at developing a completely free operating system that will work on multiple architectures and in diverse environments.
The GCC is now maintained by a diversified group of programmers from a number of countries.

 GCC's Register Transfter Language
It is of course possible to write a compiler that creates an abstract syntax tree and generates machine code directly from the tree.
Furthermore, many compiler optimizations are dependent neither on the specifics of a particular abstract syntax nor on a specific type of hardware, but rather on program semantics.
GCC's RTL representation must be generic enough to handle a host of front-ends: C, C++, Java, Fortran, etc. At the same time it cannot be so low-level that it can't be mapped to a particular machine description.

 Register Transfer Language   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
Register Transfer Language (RTL) is an intermediate representation used by the GCC compiler.
RTL is used to represent the code being generated, in a form closer to assembly language than to the high level languages which GCC compiles.
RTL is generated from the GCC Abstract Syntax Tree representation, transformed by various passes in the GCC 'middle-end', and then converted to assembly language.

 GCCWiki - Structure Of GCC
A front end takes the source code, and does whatever is needed to translate that source code into a semantically equivalent, language independent abstract syntax tree (AST).
The syntax and semantics of this AST are defined by the GIMPLE language, the highest level language independent intermediate representation GCC has.
This AST is then run through a list of target independent code transformations that take care of such things as constructing a control flow graph, and AST for optimizing compilations, lowering to non-strict RTL (expand), and running RTL based optimizations for optimizing compilations.

Compilation of the glibc 2.1 (or higher) release requires either egcs 1.0.3 or higher or GCC 2.8.1 or higher, with the former the preferable option (at least until the egcs/GCC convergence is complete).
It is infinitely extensible in that its syntax can be added on to infinitely, which allows for the extension of the basic language set to include any and all system calls.
The drawbacks are that gdb does not yet (1/97) understand Pascal syntax and types, there are few standard libraries (although the C standard libraries can be used instead), and longer compilation times than with Borland Pascal.
