I have started looking into adding support for a new language. Is there
anything in terms of documentation/references in particular that I should
look at ?
Thanks.

Fergus Henderson ha[sd] a toy example front end at
<URL: http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/~fjh/gcc/example-front-end.shar >. I'm not
sure how useful it is generally; it didn't help me greatly
understanding the Fortran front end, but helping me with that probably
isn't representative :-/. I think it used to be mentioned in the
LITERATURE file (now removed).

Actually LITERATURE has only moved, namely to readings.html on our
website.
I have just added a direct link to the navigation bar on the left.

Well, it has gone from the distribution. I still think it's a
retrograde step not to distribute documentation.

LITERATURE wasn't really documentation, just a list of references. It
consists almost entirely of hyperlinks, so it works better as web pages
anyway.
Folks that want a local copy of the egcs web pages can get them by CVS;
perhaps a tarball could be put together as well.

Not a whole lot has been written about this. Kenner is rumored to
have written a document describing it... If you find a pointer to it,
be sure to get us to put in a link to it.
Basically all you have to do, it do up your parse, build tree codes to
represent the semantics of it, call expand_expr on it, and your done.
:-) Right Per? There are just a few missing pieces that you'd need to
learn before that will just work. Watching how C or C++ works is one
way to get started.

I think the CHILL front-end was also published to serve as a basis for
front-end work (and, I guess, just because it was there).
