g++
g++ is a widely used command line tool for compiling and linking C++ code. It stands for GNU C++ Compiler and is part of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). The tool allows developers to write C++ code and then compile it into executable programs or libraries. g++ offers a wide range of options and features to optimize and customize the compilation process. It supports different versions and standards of the C++ language, such as C++98, C++03, C++11, C++14, C++17, and C++20. The tool can compile multiple source code files together, allowing for modular and organized development. It provides various optimization flags, allowing developers to optimize their code for speed or size. g++ supports different platforms and operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. It can compile code written in C++ as well as C code, making it versatile for mixed-language projects. g++ produces informative error messages and warnings that help developers identify and debug issues in their code.
