The C++ Front End

Overview Our C++ front end was started in 1991; it was first released in 1992. It supports the C++ language of the ISO/IEC 14882:1998 standard (with minor limitations; see our description of language features). Under control of command-line options, the front end also supports the cfront 2.1 and 3.0.n dialects of C++, the Microsoft dialects of C and C++, ANSI/ISO C (both C89 and C99), and K&R/pcc C.

The front end does complete syntax and semantic analysis, including complete error checking. It produces about 1,000 different error messages. Diagnostics always display the source line with a caret indicating the exact position of the error. The level of diagnostic output can be controlled in various ways.
