The '''GNU Compiler Collection''' includes front ends for C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Ada, Go, and D.


The GNU Compiler Collection contains probably the technically most advanced C/C++ compilers for OS/2 and eCS, generating good code and supporting the latest standards. Because it is available and maintained for virtually "all" operating systems is is also first choice if it comes to portability.
