History
It contains a C/C++ compiler for OS/2, generating good code and supporting the modern standards. Because it is available for a large number of operating systems it is a choice when it comes to writing portable code. However it should be noted that many of the operating systems listed as being supported by GCC have had their support removed in the 4.x branch or earlier, meaning that to archive full portability you may have to keep 2.x (emx) or 3.x branches of GCC going if you are targeting some of the less used OS's. In addition systems that are not UNIX like may need emulation layers and libraries and in some cases such as with Microsoft Windows their uses can be clunky or even problematic.
- For a long time the EMX collection included the preferred GNU GCC port for OS/2 developers, it still is to a degree preferable to the later DJGPP for DOS development work even though the latter collection supports newer versions of GCC.
- Innotek GCC was also available but Innotek is no longer in business since it was acquired by Sun Microsystems.
