Description
The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) is a compiler system produced by the GNU Project with support for various programming languages, including C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Ada, and Go. GCC is a key component of the GNU toolchain and is the standard compiler on many modern Unix-like computer operating systems, including most GNU/Linux distributions.
GCC is distributed by the Free Software Foundation (FSF) under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL). As the standard compiler for most projects related to GNU and Linux, including the Linux kernel itself, GCC has played an important role in the growth of free software.
