At IU, what C++ compilers are available on the UITS central systems?

C++ compilers are available on all of the UITS central system Unix computers and clusters at Indiana University (Big Red, Quarry, and the Research Database Complex [RDC]). All systems have g++, the GNU project's C++ compiler. Each also has at least one vendor-specific compiler, usually called c++ or CC.

The g++ compiler is a script that calls gcc with options to recognize C++. It processes input files through one or more of four stages: preprocessing, compilation, assembly, and linking.

The g++ compiler recognizes source files that use the suffix .C, .cc, or .cxx; preprocessed files use the .ii suffix.

For more information about g++, c++, or CC, see the appropriate man page on the system you will be using.
