The Edison Design Group (EDG) is an American company that makes compiler front ends (preprocessing and parsing) for C++ and formerly Java and Fortran.[2][3] Their front ends are widely used in commercially available compilers and code analysis tools. Users include the Intel C++ compiler,[4] Microsoft Visual C++ (IntelliSense), NVIDIA CUDA Compiler, SGI MIPSpro, The Portland Group, and Comeau C++.[5] They are widely known for having the first, and likely only, front end to implement the unused until C++20 export keyword of C++.[6][7]

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.[1][8]

Other employees include John Spicer and Daveed Vandevoorde.

The company announced in 2025 that it will be closing in 2026 and its C++ compiler front end will be open sourced.[9]
