GCC: GNU Compiler Collection   - Developed 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]

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.

Building and Testing gcc/glibc cross toolchains - Script to automatically download, patch, build, and test binutils, gcc, and glibc cross-toolchains.

D Front End for GCC - For GCC 3.3.x, 3.4.x versions supporting FreeBSD, Linux, Mac OS X, Cygwin. Description, build instructions, downloads, links, contact. [Open source]

DaLSoft - Optimizer for gcc generated x86 code. Lists results of optimizations, compares performance of the optimizer-generated code with performance of the code generated by gcc and icc x86 compilers.

distcc - A gcc wrapper that speeds compilation by transparently distributing work across several machines. [Open source, GPL]

EGCS: Experimental GNU Compiler System - Project 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.

G++ FAQ - List of Frequently Asked Questions for G++ users.

GCC & GNU Toolchain Developers' Summit - Brings 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.

GCC for the 6809 - GCC port for the Motorola 6809.

GCC XML Node Introspector Project - Project to create an XML interface to the GCC AST tree_nodes and store in Postgres Database.

GHDL - A written in Ada95 GCC front-end. It is a VHDL simulator and implements nearly all VHDL87 and some features of VHDL93.

GNU ARM - Toolchain in binary and source formats for several operating systems. Also includes reference material and links for embedded programming using the ARM CPU.

GNU C Compiler Internals Wikibook - This is a wikibook describing internals of GNU C Compiler Collection. A number of authors have contributed to it.

GNU Objective-C runtime features - Some notes about garbage collection and type information strings in the GNU Objective-C runtime (2.95.3 GCC version).

GNUDE: GNU Development Environment - Suite of GNU C/C++, Fortran, Java cross compilers, and Insight/GDB debugger hosted on Windows NT/2K/XP for embedded ARM7/9, XScale CPU program development. Assembler, compilers, linker, header files, STL, libraries, documents.

An Introduction to GCC - A printed tutorial for new users of GCC, published under the GNU Free Documentation License.

Linux C and C++ Compilers - Medium 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]

Making and using libraries - Guide work with libraries (.a files) in g++.

Migrating to gcc-3.4 - A collection of migration guides to help programmers updating their code to be gcc-3.4 compatible.

MinGW: Minimalist GNU for Windows - Compiler 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.

Pentium Compiler Group - Founded 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.

Pinapa - An 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.

PL/1 for GCC - A PL/1 front-end for GNU Compiler Collection. It based on the syntax from IBM OS PL/I Version 2.

RHIDE - IDE 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]
