Open source compilers
Production quality, open source compilers.- Amsterdam Compiler Kit
- Clang C/C++/Objective-C Compiler
- AMD Optimizing C/C++ Compiler
- FreeBASIC
- Free Pascal
- GCC: C, C++, Java, Ada, Objective-C, Objective-C++, Fortran, and Go ; also available, but not in standard are: Modula-2, Modula-3, Pascal, PL/I, D, Mercury, VHDL; Linux, the BSDs, OS X, NeXTSTEP, Windows and BeOS, among others
- Local C compiler
- The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure which is also frequently used for research
- Portable C Compiler
- Open Watcom
- TenDRA
- Tiny C Compiler
- Open64, supported by AMD on Linux.
- XPL PL/I dialect
Research compilers
- Open64: A popular research compiler. Open64 merges the open source changes from the PathScale compiler mentioned.
- ROSE: an open source compiler framework to generate source-to-source analyzers and translators for C/C++ and Fortran, developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
- MILEPOST GCC: interactive plugin-based open-source research compiler that combines the strength of GCC and the flexibility of the common Interactive Compilation Interface that transforms production compilers into interactive research toolsets.
- Interactive Compilation Interface - a plugin system with high-level API to transform production-quality compilers such as GCC into powerful and stable research infrastructure while avoiding developing new research compilers from scratch
- Phoenix optimization and analysis framework by Microsoft
- Edison Design Group: provides production-quality front end compilers for C, C++, and Java. Additionally, Edison Design Group makes their proprietary software available for research uses.
