By definition: no, yes. It's been this way since the beginning, and hasn't changed in decades. > Or has it become illegal to publish specification models > of gcc internals ? Does this make the product sell less ? This sounds like you're trying to start an argument, instead of asking a simple question. It is certainly not illegal to publish our specifications, and we certainly *do* publish many of our specifications (have you read the internals manual? You don't say whether or not you did, but that would be a key bit of information to have disclosed). Whether the product "sells" or not is rarely a driving factor for our project. Most of us work on it because we need it to work better for our own purposes. If you have specific questions about our documentation or development process, please ask them. Please do not ask vague, leading, and emotionally loaded questions. RTL and Gimple are documented. Are they documemented well? That depends on your needs. Are they documented as well as they could be? Probably not, but good enough for us so far. And as always, if you want to improve the situation, by all means feel free to volunteer to do so ;-)
