That's obviously the first step. Well, the first step is certainly to get a bit insight into the SVN (subversion, GNU's version management) system GCC uses for its repository. It's command-line lookalike to CVS, but a few things are handled differently. > Is there a "roadmap for g++ maintainers" located anywhere?

There is indeed some text file explaining the rought structure of the GCC tree, and there's a GCC internals texinfo documentation. Or was the tree description inside the texinfo? I can't remember exactly. Anyway, all the C++ frontend stuff is in a directory named "cp" inside the GCC tree. The directory is about 6 MB in size (without the SVN admin stuff, which adds another 6 MB), where almost 3 MB out of it belong to the various ChangeLog* files. The total line count of the implementation files is about 100K. -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
