The gccgo frontend is written in C++. It follows the GNU coding
standards to the extent that they apply to C++. In writing code for
the frontend, follow the formatting of the surrounding code. Although
the frontend is currently tied to the rest of the GCC codebase, we
plan to make it more independent. Eventually all GCC-specific code
will migrate out of the frontend proper and into GCC proper. In the
GCC sources this will generally mean moving code
from <code>gcc/go/gofrontend</code> to <code>gcc/go</code>.

The gccgo compiler works like other gcc frontends. The gccgo
installation does not currently include a version of
the <code>go</code> command. However if you have the <code>go</code>
command from an installation of the <code>gc</code> compiler, you can
use it with gccgo by passing the option <code>-compiler gccgo</code>
to <code>go build</code> or <code>go install</code> or <code>go
