GCC

GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) is a mature, open-source compiler system used to compile and build software written in C, C++, and several other programming languages. Known for its reliability, performance optimizations, and broad platform support, GCC is a foundational tool in Linux and Unix-like environments and is widely used for application development, system software, and operating system builds.

Features of GCC:

• Support for multiple languages including C, C++, Fortran, Ada, Go, and Objective-C.
• High-performance code generation with advanced optimization techniques.
• Strong compliance with international language standards (ISO C/C++).
• Wide hardware and architecture support (x86, ARM, RISC-V, PowerPC, and more).
• Integrated toolchain including compiler, assembler, and linker support.
• Extensive diagnostics, warnings, and debugging support.
• Actively maintained and widely adopted in open-source and enterprise systems.
• Core compiler used to build many Linux distributions, including Debian.

GCC Usage Instructions:

$ sudo su
$ sudo apt update
$ To check version: gcc --version
$ Get started with GCC, a fast and reliable compiler for building C and C++ programs.
