GCC
     
         The {GNU} {Compiler} Collection, which
        currently contains front ends for {C}, {C++}, {Objective-C},
        {Fortran}, {Java}, and {Ada}, as well as libraries for these
        languages (libstdc++, libgcj, etc).
     
        GCC formerly meant the GNU {C} compiler, which is a very high
        quality, very portable compiler for {C}, {C++} and {Objective
        C}.
     
        The compiler supports multiple {front-ends} and multiple
        {back-ends} by translating first into {Register Transfer
        Language} and from there into {assembly code} for the target
        architecture.
