GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection

• GNU Project (original) (raw)

The GNU Compiler Collection includes front ends forC,C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Ada, Go, D and Modula-2 as well as libraries for these languages (libstdc++,...). GCC was originally written as the compiler for the GNU operating system. The GNU system was developed to be 100% free software, free in the sense that it respects the user's freedom.

We strive to provide regular, high qualityreleases, which we want to work well on a variety of native and cross targets (including GNU/Linux), and encourage everyone to contribute changes or helptesting GCC. Our sources are readily and freely available viaGit and weeklysnapshots.

Major decisions about GCC are made by the steering committee, guided by the mission statement.
