C++ Compiler Search

C++ Compiler Search

[christos kolliatsas]

Dear Sirs,

My name is Christos Kolliatsas and I am new at the world of C++
programming, but relatively old in the programming area in general. I have
decided to get involved with C++ but I cannot locate a C++ Compiler in the
Internet. GNU site states that you have a free compiler for C++, but I
wasn't able to locate. I would welcome any help or information available.

Looking forward to hearing from you in due course.

Yours sincerely,

Christos Kolliatsas

The "GCC release 2.95" (and most older and all newer releases) include
a C++ compiler. In fact, GCC now stands for "GNU Compiler Collection":
It includes compilers for the C, C++, Fortran, Java, and Chill
languages (with Pascal and Ada to be included in the future).

If you have a Linux or *BSD installation, it most likely already
includes a C compiler, which is called "g++" or "c++". For Windows and
NT, pre-built binaries are also available.

Regards,
Martin

Will C,C++,Fortran77,Fortran95,Java,Chill,Pascal (Borland Objects Oriented
extensions), and Ada95 be the complete collection of compilers into GCC
(whith a common IDE)?
There exit other language projects GNU (of FSF?) as Scheme,as Lisp, as
Prolog ... will they be in any future GCC?.

Thanks

As of GCC 3.0, C, C++, Objective C, Fortran 77, Java, Chill, Pascal 
and Ada 95 will probably be the languages that GCC compiles. No one
knows what it will eventually handle. There never will be a common IDE -
other projects - EMACS, GIDE - handle this role for GNU.

GCC is a common backend. The list above is the entire list of functioning
GNU frontends to the GCC backend, and hence the only projects that could
be included.
