The latest gcc/g++ version we can find on a linux distribution is 4.6.3 ?
 

Is gcc 4.6.3 the latest version we can find on a linux distribution "pre-installed" without having to download source code and compile it ourself?

Kubuntu 12.04 ha 4.6.3 "pre-installed"

Is there any other distribution that has a latest version installed?

P.S.
I doubt there is any distribution having latest versions such as 4.7 without downloading & compiling yourself wright?

Hi,

On a Fedora 17 I have the following version of gcc without needing to download and compile:
Kind regards,

OMG. :OOO My only fear is that with a most state of the art g++ will have probs with classic code. I saw many who want to backwards their gcc versions to 4.4 4.3 and so.

Hi,

If you assume you'll be having problems with the latest versions of the compiler, then why did you want to know what distro offers them by default? I'm no developer so I cannot elaborate on compatibility issues between compiler versions but if you're afraid of it, then stick with what works for your 'critical' projects and create for example a virtual machine that has the latest versions and run tests on that.

Kind regards,

Eric

Thank you. Just because I couldnt find anywhere a 4.7 binary package to simply sudo apt get instal, just source code XDDD xaxaxaxaxa

Your idea seems the best thanks

(K)ubuntu 12.04 is equipped with three compilers :
gcc / g++ versions 4.4.7 , 4.5.3 , 4.6.3.

And : It is an advantage to have them all installed.
Easy to use with e.g. : export CC=gcc-4.4 CXX=g++-4.4 && <other-command>

.

REALLY? :DDD SUPER!
Then if son a binary package of 4.7 comes to repository or i learn how to compile it my self i ll have all 4 :D :D
PERFECT THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

P.S.
And all this mess for Damned C11 conncurent programming lo

Well, if you really want "g++-4.7", then either install Debian Wheezy ...
(Ubuntu 12.04 is a clone of Debian Wheezy + Sid, no big difference.)
Debian Wheezy has : g++-4.4.7, g++-4.5.3, g++-4.6.3, g++-4.7.1

Or install the "Debian Wheezy g++-4.7 compiler" into Ubuntu 12.04 :
It's 10 packages compiler / libraries.
(Tested OK on the 32bits Ubuntu 12.04. Should work as well in 64bits.)
... And you'll have the same four times g++ as Wheezy.
