@top Introduction

@cindex introduction

This manual documents the internals of the GNU compilers, including

how to port them to new targets and some information about how to

write front ends for new languages.  It corresponds to the compilers

@ifset VERSION_PACKAGE

@value{VERSION_PACKAGE}

@end ifset

version @value{version-GCC}.  The use of the GNU compilers is documented in a

separate manual.  @xref{Top,, Introduction, gcc, Using the GNU

Compiler Collection (GCC)}.

This manual is mainly a reference manual rather than a tutorial.  It

discusses how to contribute to GCC (@pxref{Contributing}), the

characteristics of the machines supported by GCC as hosts and targets

(@pxref{Portability}), how GCC relates to the ABIs on such systems

(@pxref{Interface}), and the characteristics of the languages for

which GCC front ends are written (@pxref{Languages}).  It then

describes the GCC source tree structure and build system, some of the

interfaces to GCC front ends, and how support for a target system is

implemented in GCC@.

Additional tutorial information is linked to from

@uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/readings.html}.

@node Option Index

@unnumbered Option Index

GCC's command line options are indexed here without any initial @samp{-}

or @samp{--}.  Where an option has both positive and negative forms

(such as @option{-f@var{option}} and @option{-fno-@var{option}}),

relevant entries in the manual are indexed under the most appropriate

form; it may sometimes be useful to look up both forms.
