The Edison Design Group (EDG) is a company that makes compiler frontends (preprocessing and parsing).[2][3] Their frontends are widely used in commercially available compilers and code analysis tools. Users include the Intel C++ compiler,[4] Microsoft Visual C++, SGI MIPSpro, The Portland Group, and Comeau C++.[5] They are widely known for having the first, and likely only, frontend to implement the now-deprecated[6] export keyword of C++.[7][8][9][10]

EDG was founded in 1988 in New Jersey by J. Stephen "Steve" Adamczyk, a 1974 B.S. graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a 1977 M.S. graduate of the Indiana University Bloomington, and an experienced compiler engineer who had worked for Advanced Computer Techniques in New York City.[11][1]

Other employees include John Spicer and Daveed Vandevoorde.
