If it is free software, how about putting it directly into g++? If it is not free software... I'm afraid you are looking at the wrong compiler.

There's some documentation, e.g., c-tree.texi. This stuff isn't really kept in one place, it is spread out all over; which makes sense since this is the major thing that a front end computes.

Search through the archives, I think there are several threads about this. IIRC in the past there were some political difficulties in this area; but these days perhaps (I hope) the situation may be changing. It is hard to know.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you... any C-like language is going to have multiple scopes whose natural representation is a tree. For C++ the situation is going to be even more complicated. Tom
