    Question GCC and G++

    What is the difference between GCC and G++?
    I found that some C/C++ codes can be compiled by G++ but can't be compiled by GCC.

    Thx in advance

    g++ is a c++ compiler and gcc is a c compiler.

    They are GNU Linux command line compilers. Maybe the G has something to do with the General Pulbic Liscense.

    gcc stands for gnu compiler collection but used to stand
    for gnu c compiler.
