Herman Venter - The Common Compiler Infrastruture goes Open Source

The Discussion

• 

  Good
  What's the difference between CCI and Phoenix SDK ? (It was also a compiler/runtime tool optimizer)
  

• 

  I hope somebody is getting video of the talks at the Lang.NET Symposium happening this week.

• 

  I thought he was going to show all the herms he invented.

• 

  Indeed. We have some great content from Lang .NET that will air in a few weeks.
  C

  This is some awesome news!!

  Phoenix and CCI certainly have areas of overlap and it is not always easy to decide when to use which.

   

  I view Phoenix as a large and somewhat complicated tool kit that is primarily concerned with compiling unmanaged C/C++ to optimal machine code. Everything else is secondary and this has an impact on the usability of Phoenix for compiler front-end scenarios and simple MSIL production and consumption.

   

  Use Phoenix when you are a Rocket Scientist and need to leverage the extensive support for control flow graphs, SSA and so on.
