Book review: The Definitive Guide to GCC
Without the GNU Compiler collection GCC it would be difficult to imagine that free software would have had such a rapid penetration into the market place. Historically speaking, having a free high quality set of compilers acted as a bootstrap for the highly active GNU project and beyond and was thus an important, the important, winning factor. If you want to use GCC (including version 4) to its utmost, The Definitive Guide to GCC, Second Edition, written by William von Hagen and published by Apress, is almost certainly for you.
My first impressions of this extensive, dense, and well written tome was positive. The book is thick and detailed with well chosen subjects. The author’s words radiate hard earned background knowledge. I was even provoked into thinking deeper. Having spent roughly 40% of my business life designing or programming Java structures, I found Chapter 4: Using GCC Java Compiler so thought provoking that this critic was motiviated to run competitive comparison tests against Sun and IBM’s compilers.
