Language:	C, C++, Objective-C, RTL
Package:	GNU CC (gcc)
Version:	2.7.1
Parts:	compiler, runtime, examples, documentation Library listed separately

Location:	ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/gcc-2.X.X.tar.gz or any other GNU archive site msdos: ftp://oak.oakland.edu/pub/msdos/djgpp/* 6811: ftp://netcom.com/pub/coactive/gcc-6811-beta.tar.gz (these are diffs from 2.5.8 distribution)
Description:	A very high quality, very portable compiler for C, C++, Objective-C. The compiler is designed to support multiple front-ends and multiple back-ends by translating first into RTL (Register Transfer Language) and from there into assembly for the target architecture. Front ends for Ada, Pascal, and Fortran are all under development. There is a bounds checking port based on gcc 2.7.1. Patches for this port are available at: ftp://dse.doc.ic.ac.uk/pub/misc/bcc
Conformance:	C: superset of K&R C and ANSI C. C++: supports most ARM features; exceptions supported only on some platforms. Supports "bool". Alpha-level RTTI implementation included. Not yet supported: member templates, namespaces. Developers are tracking the draft ANSI/ISO standard and are committee members. Objective-C: Complies with NeXT proposed (ANSI?) standard.

Location:	NOTE: Many gnu files are now compressed with gzip. You can tell a gzip'ed file because it has a lower-case .z or .gz rather than the capital .Z that compress uses. Gzip is available from these same archives ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/* usa: ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/mirrors4/gnu/* ftp://ftp.cs.widener.edu/pub/src/gnu/* ftp://uxc.cso.uiuc.edu/gnu/* ftp://col.hp.com/mirrors/gnu/* ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/GNU/* ftp://ftp.uu.net/packages/gnu/* japan: ftp://ftp.cs.titech.ac.jp/ ftp://utsun.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/ftpsync/prep/* australia: ftp://archie.au/gnu/* europe: ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/gnu/* ftp://ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de/pub/GNU/*/* [re-org'ed] ftp://ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/gnu/* ftp://nic.funet.fi/pub/gnu/* ftp://ugle.unit.no/pub/gnu/* ftp://isy.liu.se/pub/gnu/* ftp://ftp.stacken.kth.se/pub/gnu/* ftp://sunic.sunet.se/pub/gnu/* [re-org'ed] ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/gnu/* ftp://ftp.diku.dk/pub/gnu/* ftp://ftp.eunet.ch/software/gnu/* ftp://archive.eu.net/gnu/* [re-org'ed]

Restriction:	Most GNU programs are CopyLeft'ed. That means that they are distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License or GNU Library General Public License. The CopyLeft is only a concern if you want to use actual GNU code in your program. Using Gcc or any of the other tools is completely safe from a copyright point-of-view with the sole exception of bison which includes GNU code in its output. If you use a GNU library, you must supply an unlinked version of your program.
