GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection - GNU Project
The GNU Compiler Collection includes front ends for C, C++, Objective-C, Objective-C++, Fortran, Ada, Go, D, Modula-2, COBOL, Rust, and Algol 68 as well as libraries for these languages (libstdc++,...). GCC was originally written as the compiler for the GNU operating system.
Guide to GCC source?
I found the repo a bit off-putting Hence LLVM! I'm mostly interested in codegen, e.g., what register allocation algorithms are implemented. GCC's register allocators are called IRA and LRA. If you search on the page you link you'll see those modules. IRA is the main one and it does have some high-level documentation. https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/blob/efcd941e86b507d77e90a1b13f621e036eacdb45/gcc/ira.c#L21-L363 More on reddit.com

February 8, 2021Where can I find the source code of C language itself?
If you are interested in looking through a C compiler codebase, I highly recommend LCC: https://github.com/drh/lcc GCC and Clang are (overly) complex for what they provide. If you would like more of a guide through it, there is also a book counterpart to the codebase: https://drh.github.io/lcc/ Finally, the compiler itself is the easy part, emitting x86/x86_64 instructions is where it starts to get very complex. For this reason, I really recommend Q3VM ( https://github.com/jnz/q3vm ). It is a single file VM (originally written for Quake III) which interprets fantasy but greatly simplified instructions from a slightly modified LCC compiler (also part of the project). This might be very useful to learn from. Finally, if you want to see an entire toolchain built from scratch (including standard C library), you might be interested in my GCC based megadrive compiler build scripts: https://github.com/osen/mdcc More on reddit.com

October 13, 2017GCC will now need C++ to build
This isn't a surprise announcement; development has been heading that way for a while. And as complex as the C standard has become, it's a necessary thing to deal with that complexity. Still, there's a part of me that still admires the elegance of a c-based, c-compiler like pcc. Yes, I know pcc is basically dead and isn't feature complete. I'm just getting wistful for a time of a simpler C compiler... a time that clearly doesn't exist any more. More on reddit.com

The .md (machine description) files of GCC source contain stuff to generate assembly. GCC contains several specialized C/C++ code generators (and some of them translates the .md files into code emitting assembly).
GCC is a very complex program. The documentation of GCC MELT (an obsolete project) contains several interesting links and slides, notably refering to the Indian GCC Resource Center
Most of the optimizations in GCC happens in the middle-end (which is mostly independent of source language or target system), notably with many passes working on the Gimple representations.
The GCC repo is an SVN repository.
See also this answer, notably the pictures inside it.

The actual source code for GCC is most accessible from here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/svn.html
The software is accessible via SVN (subversion), a source code control system. This would be installed on many versions of Linux/UNIX, but if not on your platform, you can install the svn kit and then fetch the source using the following command:
svn checkout svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk SomeLocalDir
GCC is complex and would take significant experience to understand the nature of how the application actually compiles to different architectures.
In a nutshell, GCC has three major components - front-end, middle and back-end processing. The front-end processor has the component of the language parsing to understand the syntax of languages (like C, C++, Objective-C, etc). The front-end deconstructs the code to a portable construct which is then passed to the back-end for compilation to the target environment.
The middle part performs code analysis and optimisation, attempting to prioritise the code to generate the best possible output at the end of the full process. Technically, optimisation can occur at any part of the process as patterns are discovered during analysis.
The back-end processor compiles the code to a tree-style output format (not actually final executable code). Based on what the expected output is designed to be, the "pseudo-code" is optimised for using registers, bit-sizes, endian-ness, and so on. The final code is then generated during the assembly phase, which converts the back-end code into machine executable instructions.
It's important to note that the compiler has many options to deal with output formats so you can create output to many classes of architecture, usually out of the box. For cross-compiling and target compiler options, try checking out this link:

So there is the helpful "A Tourist's Guide to the LLVM Source Code" and I was wondering, if something similar exists for GCC?
I found the repo a bit off-putting, like this mirror with hundreds of files in one folder.
I'm mostly interested in codegen, e.g., what register allocation algorithms are implemented.
Thanks!

Answer (1 of 3): You use a source control system. You keep the parts in the source control system and it tracks what you have changed so that you donโt have to. Thatโs another part of Vladislav Zorovโs answer. After you have abstracted something. You have turned GCC into many small parts.

Answer (1 of 6): What about to try some open source one. Do not start with the big ones like gcc.gnu.org Git - gcc.git/summary or llvm/llvm-project. These are too big to comprehend on first try. You may try something more easy like IanHarvey/pcc or davidgiven/ack.

However, we usually compile each of the source files separately into object file, and link them together in the later stage. In this case, changes in one file does not require re-compilation of the other files. > g++ -c file1.cpp > g++ -c file2.cpp > g++ -o myprog.exe file1.o file2.o ยท To compile and link C/C++ program into a shared library (".dll" in Windows, ".so" in Unixes), use -shared option. Read "Java Native Interface" for example. GCC compiles a C/C++ program into executable in 4 steps as shown in the above diagram.
