GCC
<compiler, programming> 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.
