The definitive reference manual for the most widely used compiler in the world, written by the program's original author and its current developers. The GNU Compiler Collection is a full-featured ANSI C compiler with support for C, C++, Objective C, Java and Fortran as well as libraries for all these languages, such as libstdc++ and libgcj.

This book covers:

* The complete list of GCC command options.

* All the Objective-C runtime features.

* GCC support for C and C++ language standards.

* Extending C and C++ beyond the current standards.

* Special features of GCC's C, C++, and ObjC support.

* Fine tuning programs for your platform of choice.

This reference is intended for intermediate or above programmers. It assumes that the reader is already familiar with the basics of either C, C++ or Objective C languages. This edition of the book covers new features included with GCC version 3.3, while remaining compatible with earlier versions.
