Is it possible to import a gimple file into gcc so to generate the target code?

[Haizhou LING]

Suppose we dump the GIMPLE tree into a file by using gcc option. Is it possible to import the GIMPLE file into the gcc and generate the target code?

Thanks a lot for your help.

The LTO project is working toward making something like that possible.

No, but you might want to take a look at the plugin project:
