GCC is the GNU Compiler Collection. It's the de facto standard compiler for C, C++, Go, Fortran, and Ada on Linux and supports many other languages and platforms as well.
GCC is the GNU Compiler Collection, a collection of free software compilers. It is a key component of the GNU Toolchain.
GCC includes an optimizing C compiler that is the most commonly used C compiler on Linux. GCC also includes front ends for C++ (including full support for C++17), Objective-C, Fortran, Ada, and Go, as well as libraries for these languages (libstdc++, libgfortran, ...). It supports many architectures.
GCC sources are available via the Git repository. Major decisions about GCC are made by the steering committee, guided by the mission statement.
