This manual provides a tutorial introduction to the GNU C and C++ compilers, gcc and g++. Many books teach the C and C++ languages, this book explains how to use the compiler itself. Based on years of observation of questions posted on mailing lists, it guides the reader straight to the important options of GCC! Concisely written, with numerous easy-to-follow "Hello World" examples. Now with extensive new sections on error messages, portability and floating point arithmetic! Written by Brian J. Gough, this book features a special foreword by Richard M. Stallman, principal developer of GCC and founder of the GNU Project. The technical editor of this book is Dr. Gerald Pfeifer of SUSE (homepage).
