This category is for GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection. Originally, GCC meant GNU C Compiler. Then C++ was added, and then other languages that do not start with the letter "C". Clearly, the acronym needed a new semantics, so it was renamed. GCC is developed and maintained as Free Software (Open Source) by the Free Software Foundation (FSF), GNU project, for programmers, and the GNU system. GCC has many front ends: C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java, Ada; libraries for libstdc++, libgcj, more.

GCC: GNU Compiler CollectionDeveloped by GNU project as free compiler for GNU system. Front ends: C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java, Ada; libraries for libstdc++, and libgcj. Mission, mail lists, timeline, contributors, committee, instructions, manual, FAQ, downloads, plans, bug reports. [Open Source, GPL]
GHDLA written in Ada95 GCC front-end. It is a VHDL simulator and implements nearly all VHDL87 and some features of VHDL93.
MinGW: Minimalist GNU for WindowsCompiler system uses GCC to produce Windows programs. Win32 ports of GCC, GDB, binutils to build native Win32 programs that rely on no 3rd party DLLs.
GCC XML Node Introspector ProjectProject to create an XML interface to the GCC AST tree_nodes and store in Postgres Database.

G++ FAQList of Frequently Asked Questions for G++ users.
EGCS: Experimental GNU Compiler SystemProject fused work on GNU C, C++, Objective-C, Ada, Fortran compilers, and libc++, to speed up work to improve GCC. In April 1999 was merged into general GCC effort under control of GCC steering committee. Descriptions, a few links.
GNU Objective-C runtime featuresSome notes about garbage collection and type information strings in the GNU Objective-C runtime (2.95.3 GCC version).
Making and using librariesGuide work with libraries (.a files) in g++.
Pentium Compiler GroupFounded late 1995 to enhance and support Pentium optimizing in GCC. GCC optimizes well, but the new x86 architecture needed different optimizing strategies. Descriptions, FAQs, downloads (source, binary), mirrors, links.
GCC Myths and FactsOptimizing GCC mostly for x86 CPU and C/C++, but parts can apply to all supported CPUs and languages. Many useful forum comments. [freshmeat.net]
First Annual GCC Developers' SummitAn opportunity for the core developers of all parts of the GNU Compiler Collection to get together with those from other portions of the Development tools community. May 25-27, 2003.
Building and Testing gcc/glibc cross toolchainsScript to automatically download, patch, build, and test binutils, gcc, and glibc cross-toolchains.
PL/1 for GCCA PL/1 front-end for GNU Compiler Collection. It based on the syntax from IBM OS PL/I Version 2.
LWN: GCC gets a new Optimizer FrameworkArtciel by Steven Bosscher and Diego Novillo. The first bits a major compiler internals overhaul have been merged into the development mainline of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) for inclusion in the next release.
An Introduction to GCCA printed tutorial for new users of GCC, published under the GNU Free Documentation License.
GCC & GNU Toolchain Developers' SummitBrings together the core development team of the GNU Compiler Collection with those working on the other toolchain components to discuss the state of the art.
Migrating to gcc-3.4A collection of migration guides to help programmers updating their code to be gcc-3.4 compatible.
PinapaAn open source SystemC front-end. It relies on GCC to parse the C++, and on the SystemC library itself to extract the architecture of the platform to analyze.
Writing a GCC Front EndBy Tom Tromey. This article provides a tour of how you would go about connecting your own compiler front end to GCC.
Optimization in GCCBy M. Tim Jones. Here's what the O options mean in GCC, why some optimizations aren't optimal after all and how you can make specialized optimization choices for your application. [Linux Journal]
Optimizing GCCHow much faster can GCC compile a Linux kernel if GCC is optimized? Doing the compiler alone ups speed 33%. Description, benchmark times. [Linux Gazette]
ACOVEA (Analysis of Compiler Options via Evolutionary Algorithm)ACOVEA (Analysis of Compiler Options via Evolutionary Algorithm) implements a genetic algorithm to the analysis of GNU C compiler optimization flags.
Linux C and C++ CompilersMedium long review compares 2 compilers, some useful tables. GCC holds its own against Intel C++, wins some benchmarks it lost before. Intel still wins some. Differences are less. [Coyote Gulch Productions]
D Front End for GCCFor GCC 3.3.x, 3.4.x versions supporting FreeBSD, Linux, Mac OS X, Cygwin. Description, build instructions, downloads, links, contact. [Open source]
RHIDEIDE for DJGPP and other GCC-based systems, by Robert Hoehne, Salvador Eduardo Tropea. Runs on DOS, Linux, looks like old Borland DOS IDE. Has project management, frontend to GCC C/C++, syntax highlighting, integrated debugger. [Open Source, GPL]
GCC for the 6809GCC port for the Motorola 6809.
GNU ARMToolchain in binary and source formats for several operating systems. Also includes reference material and links for embedded programming using the ARM CPU.
