Edison Design Group

The Edison Design Group (EDG) is a company that makes compiler front ends (preprocessing and parsing) for C++ and formerly Java and Fortran.[2][3] Their front ends are widely used in commercially available compilers and code analysis tools. Users include the Intel C++ compiler,[4] Microsoft Visual C++ (IntelliSense), NVIDIA CUDA Compiler, SGI MIPSpro, The Portland Group, and Comeau C++.[5] They are widely known for having the first, and likely only, front end to implement the now-deprecated[6] export keyword of C++.[7][8][9][10]
