| The Free Software Foundation announced today the 3.0 release of the GNU |
| Compiler |
| Collection (GCC). GCC is a Free (as in freedom) Software compiler toolset, |
| licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). |
| |
| @PP |
| #start p |
| This version of GCC fully incorporates a native-code compiler for the Java |
| programming language. This allows Java programs that run faster, while |
| using a |
| completely Free Software system without depending on a proprietary Java |
| compiler. |
| |
| @PP |
| #start p |
| GCC 3.0 includes rewritten support the Intel and AMD 32-bit family of |
| processors, which includes all Pentium systems. GCC 3.0 now generates much |
| better output for these processors. This allows programs to run faster on |
| such |
| systems. |
| |
| @PP |
| #start p |
| GCC 3.0 supports the Intel IA-64 processor. This support will allow |
| completely Free Software systems to run on the IA-64 architecture |
| immediately |
| upon the public release of IA-64. GCC 3.0 also supports other new chipsets |
| from |
| Motorola, Atmel, Mitsubishi, Fujitsu and Sun. |
| |
| @PP |
| #start p |
| GCC 3.0 vastly improves C++ support. Many bug fixes and changes to the C++ |
| support library allow GCC 3.0 to conform better to ISO C++ standards than |
| ever |
| before. Also included is a new Application Binary Interface (ABI) for C++. |
| |
| @PP |
| #start p |
| But, technological considerations are not the most important reasons for |
| using GCC. Richard M. Stallman, president of the Free Software Foundation, |
| pointed out: ``Many users choose GCC for technical advantages, such as |
| having one |
| compiler that works on many systems, or its powerful C extensions. But the |
| most |
| important benefit of GCC is freedom--your freedom. A free operating system |
| requires a free compiler. GCC was an essential step on the road to |
| freedom.'' |
| |
| @PP |
| #start p |
| GCC 3.0 has benefitted from the efforts of several successful businesses |
| built around support and development of Free Software. GCC, which is Free |
| Software licensed under the GPL, has facilitated sustainable business |
| models. |
| Some of these companies are listed in the Free Software Foundation's |
| service |
| directory, which can be found at: |

| The GNU Compiler Collection |
| (GCC), originally called the GNU C Compiler, includes compilers for the C, |
| C++, |
| Objective C, Fortran, and Java languages. Originally developed by Richard |
| M. |
| Stallman, GCC is now developed and improved by a worldwide network of |
| volunteers, lead by the GCC Steering Committee, the official maintainers of |
| GCC. |
