> Even you seem to be confused by the compiler proper (cc1 or cc1plus) and the front end (the part of each compiler that parses the code and builds an internal representation that then gets passed on to the middle end for optimization and the back end for register allocation and instruction generation). Sure, the cc1 and cc1plus binaries come with a middle and backend linked in, but what differentiates them is the front end. Not so much for gcc and g++ where both `gcc file.cpp` and `g++ file.cpp` will invoke cc1plus. Not to mention that with LTO cc1 and cc1plus do almost exclusively front end work while everything else happens in lto1 (for both C and C++). |
