+<h4 class="subsection">6.3.8 Anatomy of a Language Front End</h4>
+
+<p>A front end for a language in GCC has the following parts:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li> A directory <samp><var>language</var></samp> under <samp>gcc</samp> containing source
+files for that front end. See <a href="Front-End-Directory.html#Front-End-Directory">The Front End
+<samp><var>language</var></samp> Directory</a>, for details.
+</li><li> A mention of the language in the list of supported languages in
+<samp>gcc/doc/install.texi</samp>.
+</li><li> A mention of the name under which the language&rsquo;s runtime library is
+recognized by <samp>--enable-shared=<var>package</var></samp> in the
+documentation of that option in <samp>gcc/doc/install.texi</samp>.
+</li><li> A mention of any special prerequisites for building the front end in
+the documentation of prerequisites in <samp>gcc/doc/install.texi</samp>.
+</li><li> Details of contributors to that front end in
+<samp>gcc/doc/contrib.texi</samp>. If the details are in that front end&rsquo;s
+own manual then there should be a link to that manual&rsquo;s list in
+<samp>contrib.texi</samp>.
+</li><li> Information about support for that language in
+<samp>gcc/doc/frontends.texi</samp>.
+</li><li> Information about standards for that language, and the front end&rsquo;s
+support for them, in <samp>gcc/doc/standards.texi</samp>. This may be a
+link to such information in the front end&rsquo;s own manual.
+</li><li> Details of source file suffixes for that language and <samp>-x
+<var>lang</var></samp> options supported, in <samp>gcc/doc/invoke.texi</samp>.
+</li><li> Entries in <code>default_compilers</code> in <samp>gcc.cc</samp> for source file
+suffixes for that language.
+</li><li> Preferably testsuites, which may be under <samp>gcc/testsuite</samp> or
+runtime library directories. FIXME: document somewhere how to write
+testsuite harnesses.
+</li><li> Probably a runtime library for the language, outside the <samp>gcc</samp>
+directory. FIXME: document this further.
+</li><li> Details of the directories of any runtime libraries in
+<samp>gcc/doc/sourcebuild.texi</samp>.
+</li><li> Check targets in <samp>Makefile.def</samp> for the top-level <samp>Makefile</samp>
+to check just the compiler or the compiler and runtime library for the
+language.
+</li></ul>
+
+<p>If the front end is added to the official GCC source repository, the
+following are also necessary:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li> At least one Bugzilla component for bugs in that front end and runtime
+libraries. This category needs to be added to the Bugzilla database.
+</li><li> Normally, one or more maintainers of that front end listed in
+<samp>MAINTAINERS</samp>.
+</li><li> Mentions on the GCC web site in <samp>index.html</samp> and
+<samp>frontends.html</samp>, with any relevant links on
+<samp>readings.html</samp>. (Front ends that are not an official part of
+GCC may also be listed on <samp>frontends.html</samp>, with relevant links.)
+</li><li> A news item on <samp>index.html</samp>, and possibly an announcement on the
+<a href="mailto:gcc-announce@gcc.gnu.org">gcc-announce@gcc.gnu.org</a> mailing list.
+</li><li> The front end&rsquo;s manuals should be mentioned in
+<samp>maintainer-scripts/update_web_docs_git</samp> (see <a href="Texinfo-Manuals.html#Texinfo-Manuals">Texinfo Manuals</a>)
+and the online manuals should be linked to from
+<samp>onlinedocs/index.html</samp>.
+</li><li> Any old releases or CVS repositories of the front end, before its
+inclusion in GCC, should be made available on the GCC web site at
+<a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/old-releases/">https://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/old-releases/</a>.
+</li><li> The release and snapshot script <samp>maintainer-scripts/gcc_release</samp>
+should be updated to generate appropriate tarballs for this front end.
+</li><li> If this front end includes its own version files that include the
+current date, <samp>maintainer-scripts/update_version</samp> should be
+updated accordingly.
+</li></ul>
