Written by Michael Larabel in Programming on 30 September 2026 at 01:53 PM EDT. 13 Comments

Edison Design Group has open-sourced their EDG C/C++ front-end that has been known in the commercial world for its extensive dialect support and other features. The EDG C++ front-end has been used by the likes of Intel C++ Compiler classic, NVIDIA CUDA NVCC, and even Microsoft Visual Studio for IntelliSense.

The EDG C++ front-end was open-sourced today and The C++ Alliance is becoming its non-profit home. This open-source EDG C++ code is open-source under the Apache 2.0 license. Community contributions will be accepted to the EDG C++ codebase.

Those wishing to learn more about EDG C++ finally going open-source after 30+ years can learn more at edgcpp.org. The code is open-source via GitHub.
