GCC

Specialty Definition: GCC

Domain	Definition
Computing	GCC The GNU C compiler by Richard Stallman et al. A very high quality, very portable compiler for C, C++ and Objective C. The compiler is designed to support multiple front-ends and multiple back-ends by translating first into Register Transfer Language and from there into assembly code for the target architecture. Front ends for Ada, Pascal and Fortran are under development. GNU C is a superset of K&R C and ANSI C. The extensions include compound statement within an expression, pointers to labels, local labels, nested functions, typeof operator, compound and conditional expressions and casts allowed as lvalues, long long ints, arrays of variable length, macros with variable number of arguments, nonconstant initialisers, constructor expressions, labelled elements in initialisers, case ranges, variable attributes, global register variables.

GNU Compiler Collection

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

GCC is the GNU Compiler Collection. Originally, it stood for "GNU C Compiler", but it now handles many different programming languages besides C. (For a brief period the "compiler collection" variant was known as the EGCS Project and existed in parallel to GCC, but the former ECGS has now become the official GCC.)
GCC is a GPL-licensed compiler distributed by the Free Software Foundation, and a key enabling technology for the Open Source Software (OSS) and Free software movements.
Originally written by Richard Stallman in 1987, GCC is now maintained by a varied group of programmers from around the world. It has been ported to more kinds of processors and operating systems than any other compiler.
GCC has been adopted as the main compiler used to build and develop for a number of systems, including GNU/Linux, BSD, Mac OS X, NeXTSTEP, and BeOS.
As of version 3.2, the standard compiler release includes front ends for:
Ada (GCC for Ada aka GNAT)
C
C++ (GCC for C++ aka G++)
Fortran (GCC for Fortran aka G77)
Java
Objective-C
Treelang

A front end for CHILL was previously included, but has been dropped due to lack of maintenance. Pascal, Modula-2, Modula-3, Mercury and Objective-C++ frontends also exist.
GCC target processors (as of version 3.2) include:
Alpha
ARM
H8/300
System/370, System 390
X86 and X86-64
IA-64 "Itanium"
Motorola 68000
Motorola 88000
MIPS
PA-RISC
PDP-11
PowerPC
SuperH
SPARC
VAX

Lesser-known target processors supported in the standard release have included A29K, ARC, AVR, C4x, CRIS, D30V, DSP16xx, FR-30, FR-V, Intel i960, IP2000, M32R, 68HC11, MCORE, MMIX, MN10200, MN10300, NS32K, ROMP, Stormy16, V850, Xtensa. Additional processors, such as the D10V and Z8000, have been supported by GCC versions maintained separately from the FSF version.

"Pearl Monument" by Ivan Raszl
Commentary: "The Pearl Monument, also known as the GCC monument simbolizes the 6 GCC countries. The huge concrete ball simbolizes a natural pearl, which was Bahrain's most important export product before the oil was found in the region."
