ABSTRACT

Both GCC and Zephyr are representative complier infrastructures. The paper explores the basic questions that need to be resolved to develop compilers for the support of multiple source languages and targets analyses and compares their architectures and key retargetable cross compilation techniques, summarizes the merits and shortcomings, respectively, and draws a conclusion that the Zephyr infrastructure has the advantage over GCC to an extent.
