Another compiler for linux.
 
Hi all,

I want to know is there any compiler other than GCC on linux. I know GCC is excellent but I want to test some other things.

Thank you

Yes, there are Intels' C++ compilers too.

Intel produces C, C++, and Fortran 95 compilers for Windows and Linux. Under Linux, the Intel compilers are available with a non-commercial license.
Can see the comparison here

You can find them here

Hope it helps

I assume you're looking for C compilers.

Google "linux c compiler" and you'll find several alternatives.

I believe the most popular commercial compiler is Intel C/C++.

GCC is so prevalent because, frankly, few developers have need of - or want - any other compiler. But they certainly exist :)

If you don't know you need another compiler, then you probably don't need another compiler.

Maybe what you want is a proper IDE/frontend, in that ase, you should probably look into anjuta, kdevelop, eclipse, code::blocks, geany...
