Code::Blocks is a free, open-source, cross-platform IDE that supports multiple compilers including GCC, Clang and Visual C++. It is developed in C++ using wxWidgets as the GUI toolkit. Using a plugin architecture, its capabilities and features are defined by the provided plugins. Currently, Code::Blocks is oriented towards C, C++, and Fortran.
With roughly 15 million lines of code in 2019, GCC is one of the largest free programs in existence. [4] It has played an important role in the growth of free software, as both a tool and an example. When it was first released in 1987 by Richard Stallman, GCC 1.0 was named the GNU C Compiler since it only handled the C programming language. [1]
Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) is a compiler for the C, C++, C++/CLI and C++/CX programming languages by Microsoft.MSVC is proprietary software; it was originally a standalone product but later became a part of Visual Studio and made available in both trialware and freeware forms.
Edison Design Group: provides production-quality front end compilers for C, C++, and Java (a number of the compilers listed on this page use front end source code from Edison Design Group [109]). Additionally, Edison Design Group makes their proprietary software available for research uses.
Clang becomes default compiler for Android [53] (and later only compiler supported by Android NDK [54]). 13 March 2017 Clang 4.0.0 released: 26 July 2017: Clang becomes default compiler in OpenBSD 6.2 on amd64/i386. [55] 7 September 2017 Clang 5.0.0 released: 19 January 2018: Clang becomes default compiler in OpenBSD 6.3 on arm. [56] 5 March 2018
Free Pascal Compiler (FPC) is a compiler for the closely related programming-language dialects Pascal and Object Pascal. It is free software released under the GNU General Public License , with exception clauses that allow static linking against its runtime libraries and packages for any purpose in combination with any other software license.
Compiler technology evolved from the need for a strictly defined transformation of the high-level source program into a low-level target program for the digital computer. The compiler could be viewed as a front end to deal with the analysis of the source code and a back end to synthesize the analysis into the target code.
In 2005, Mingw-w64 was created by OneVision Software under cleanroom software engineering principles, since the original MinGW project was not prompt on updating its code base, including the inclusion of several key new APIs and also much needed 64-bit support.
