Sorry, he really should have written "gcc, clang, and EDG" monoculture.
Are you aware of any significant compilers that use anything other than these as frontends at this point?
(microsoft, intel, portland group, comeau, etc all use the EDG C++ frontend)
I guess XLC still does (or it did when I was at IBM 7.5 years ago), but not sure they are really still in the running.
- br1 13y agoVisual C++ uses EDG only for the IDE. The compiler still has it's own frontend.
- DannyBee 13y agoPlease tell me they did not put Phoenix out in the wild :)
- pjmlp 13y agoNo, but they are rewriting the frontend to be AST based as well. http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/C9-GoingNative/GoingNative-21-Visual-C-Front-End-Compiler http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/C9-GoingNative/GoingNative-21...

- DannyBee 13y agoMostly GCC based, some now clang based, the rest MS.
