There are several alternatives for compiling C++ on Linux. Let's look at 2 of them −GCCAlmost all Linux distros come with GCC installed. Check whether GCC is installed on your system by entering the following command from the command line −$ g++ -vIf you have installed GCC, then it should print a message such as the following −Using built-in specs. Target: i386-redhat-linux Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr ....... Thread model: posix gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-46)If GCC is not installed, then you will have to install it yourself using the detailed instructions available at https://gcc.gnu.org/install/. clangClang is a compiler developed ...

Step 0 − Install MinGW GCC or Cygwin GCCTo use Eclipse for C/C++ programming, you need a C/C++ compiler. On Windows, you could install either MinGW GCC or Cygwin GCC. Choose MinGW if you are not sure, because MinGW is lighter and easier to install, but has fewer features.MinGW GCC − To install MinGW, go to the MinGW homepage, www.mingw.org, and follow the link to the MinGW download page. Download the latest version of the MinGW installation program which should be named MinGW-.exe.While installing MinGW, at a minimum, you must install gcc-core, gcc-g++, Binutils, and the MinGW runtime, but you ...

C++ is regarded as a middle-level language, as it comprises a combination of both high-level and low-level language features. It is a superset of C, and that virtually any legal C program is a legal C++ program. C++ runs on a variety of platforms, such as Windows, Mac OS, and the various versions of UNIX. Following are some of the features of C++ that make it stand out among other programming languages −Multi-paradigm language − C++ is a language that supports procedural, object-oriented and generic programming. This makes it very versatile.Use of pointers and references − C++ supports pointers and ... Read More

The C++ programming language has a history going back to 1979, when Bjarne Stroustrup was doing work for his Ph.D. thesis. He began work on "C with Classes", which as the name implies was meant to be a superset of the C language. His goal was to add object-oriented programming into the C language, which was and still is a language well-respected for its portability without sacrificing speed or low-level functionality.His language included classes, basic inheritance, inlining, default function arguments, and strong type checking in addition to all the features of the C language. The first C with Classes compiler ... Read More

The following is the same for both local and global variables. Basically, whenever you declare a variable, the compiler will call its default constructor unless you specify otherwise.The language level types (e.g. pointers, 'int', 'float', 'bool', etc) "default constructor" does absolutely nothing, it just leaves the memory as it is when it is declared.  This means that they can be pretty much anything because you usually can't be sure what was in that memory previously or even where the memory came from.If you create a class that doesn't have a constructor, the compiler will create one for you which simply ...

There are a lot of versions of the C++ programming language. These versions of the language are implementations of compilers based on specifications constructed by the ISO C++ community, the community that oversees the development of the language. The following are the versions of the language − C++98 (ISO/IEC 14882:1998) is the first edition. C++03 (ISO/IEC 14882:2003) is the second edition. C++11 is the third edition. C++14 is the fourth edition. C++17 is the fifth edition. All of these versions have a lot of differences, mainly additions to the standard library and expansion of APIs. These standards also ...

If you would like an application that works directly with computer hardware or deals with the desktop app development, C++ is an good option. C++ programs include server-side applications, networking, gaming, and even device drivers for your PC. However, if you need to code truly tiny systems, using C will result in less overhead than C++.C++ is well-rounded in terms of platforms and target applications, so if your project is focused on extremely low-level processing, then you may want to use C++. C++ is often used for large-scale, multi-man, complex projects where separate people need to work on modularised components. ... Read More

Following are some of the differences between C and C++.When compared to C++, C is a subset of C++. All valid C programs are valid C++ programs.C is a structural or procedural programming language, while C++ is an object oriented programming language.In C, Functions are the fundamental building blocks, while in C++, Objects are the fundamental building blocks.C doesn't have variable references, while C++ has variable references.C uses malloc and free for memory allocation while C++ uses new and delete for memory allocation.C does not provide direct support for error handling, while C++ supports exception handling that helps in error ...

There are many resources on the web that can help you learn C++. I've tried to give you a compiled list of some of the best resources out there to learn C++ −C++ − This is a great place to learn C++ as it covers almost all basic and intermediate topics in C++ in depth and is overall a great resource to learn C++.A Tour of C++ (Bjarne Stroustrup) − The “tour” is a quick tutorial overview of all of standard C++ (language and standard library, and using C++11) at a moderately high level for people who already know C++ ...
