The Edison Design Group (EDG) is a company that makes compiler front ends (preprocessing and parsing) for C++ and formerly Java and Fortran.[1] [2] Their front ends are widely used in commercially available compilers and code analysis tools. Users include the Intel C++ compiler,[3] Microsoft Visual C++ (IntelliSense), NVIDIA CUDA Compiler, SGI MIPSpro, The Portland Group, and Comeau C++.[4] They are widely known for having the first, and likely only, front end to implement the unused until C++20[5] [[Export (C++)|export]] keyword of C++.[6] [7] [8] [9]
EDG was founded in 1988 in New Jersey by J. Stephen "Steve" Adamczyk, a 1974 B.S. graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a 1977 M.S. graduate of the Indiana University Bloomington, and an experienced compiler engineer who had worked for Advanced Computer Techniques in New York City.[10] [11]
Other employees include John Spicer and Daveed Vandevoorde.
