1) Check out the tree-ssa branch, see the projects/tree-ssa/ for 
information about this.

2) Have a look at the C++ front end.

3) Go see http://home.wanadoo.nl/btp91/gcc/gcc-ast.html. It's incomplete
but still useful.

4) Have a look at http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/, and read
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/Trees.html#Trees. These pages
try to document what you can find in {tree, c-common, cp-tree}.{def,h}. 

Hope this helps,

Greetz
