< 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.
