It is able to build 32-bit or 64-bit binaries, for any version of Windows since Windows 98. TDM-GCC is a redistribution of components that are freely available elsewhere. [3] A large difference is that it changes the default GCC libraries to be statically linked, and use a shared memory region for exception handling. [2]
Mingw-w64 includes a port of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), GNU Binutils for Windows (assembler, linker, archive manager), a set of freely distributable Windows specific header files and static import libraries for the Windows API, a Windows-native version of the GNU Project's GNU Debugger, and miscellaneous utilities.
Most BSD family operating systems also switched to GCC shortly after its release, although since then, FreeBSD and Apple macOS have moved to the Clang compiler, [10] largely due to licensing reasons. [11] [12] [13] GCC can also compile code for Windows, Android, iOS, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX and DOS. [14]
MinGW ("Minimalist GNU for Windows"), formerly mingw32, is a free and open source software development environment to create Microsoft Windows applications.. MinGW includes a port of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), GNU Binutils for Windows (assembler, linker, archive manager), a set of freely distributable Windows specific header files and static import libraries which enable the use of the ...
MILEPOST GCC: interactive plugin-based open-source research compiler that combines the strength of GCC and the flexibility of the common Interactive Compilation Interface that transforms production compilers into interactive research toolsets.
The version of GCC that comes with Cygwin has various extensions for creating Windows DLLs, such as specifying whether a program is a windowing or console-mode program. Support for compiling programs that do not require the POSIX compatibility layer provided by the Cygwin DLL used to be included in the default GCC, but as of 2014 [update] , it ...
A test compared different C compilers by using them to compile the GNU C Compiler (GCC) itself, and then using the resulting compilers to compile GCC again. Compared to GCC 3.4.2, a TCC modified to compile GCC was able to compile the compiler ten times faster, but the resulting .exe it produced was 57% larger, and much slower, taking 2.2 times ...
There is ongoing work to extend the targeting to Linux [10] and modern BSD (e.g., FreeBSD) operating systems, running on x86, PowerPC, and other processors. The code is portable and, like many other open source compiler projects such as GCC or LCC the compiler backend (code generator) is retargetable.
