GNU Compiler Collection
The GNU Compiler Collection is a suite that consists of open-source compilers for C, C++, Java, and a few other programming languages. These compilers are designed for Unix-based operating systems, but can also be installed on the Windows platform using a Windows port called “MiniGW.”
The following compilers are included in the GNU Compiler Collection:
- GCC: C compiler
- G++: C++ compiler
- GFortran: Fortan compiler
- GCJ: Java compiler
- GNAT: Ada compiler
- GCCGo: Go Compiler
Additionally, Compiler Collection also allows more modules to be installed to extend the functionality of the software.
