Exploring the GNU GCC Compiler Optimization Implementation

Question

I would like to understand how the GNU GCC compiler handles optimization. I know this is not easy, but I cannot find the details of the internal implementation of GCC even for a start.

Do I have to be a GNU GCC developer to view the source code and know the low / high level design? Where does a developer who wants to contribute to GCC find implementation details?

Answer 1

GCC is open source and its source code is freely available. You can even browse it online . And its internal elements are documented .
