GCC is the abbreviation for the software known as the GNU Compiler Collection. Its function is to transform a program's source code written in a programming language (especially in C, C++, among others) into a binary file which can be executed by a computer. The Gnu Compiler Collection is included in most Linux distributions as the default compiler. It is licensed as free software. It uses the GNU GPL (General Public license).
