A Brief（簡短的） History of GCC
- The original author of the GNU C Compiler(GCC) is Richard Stallman,the founder of the GNU Project.
- The GNU project was started in 1984 to create a complete Unix-like operating system as free software,in order to promote（促進(jìn)） freedom and cooperation among computer users and programmers.
- Every Unix-like operating system needs a C compiler（編譯程序）,and as there were no free compilers in existence at that time,the GNU Project had to develop one from scratch（劃痕）.
- The work was founded by donations（捐贈） from individuals and companies to the Free Software Foundation（自由軟件基金會）, a non-profit organization set up to support the work of the GNU Project.
- The first release of GCC was made in 1987.This was a significant breakthrough（突破）,being the first portable（可移植的） ANSI C optimizing（優(yōu)化） coplier releseed as free software.
- Since that time GCC has become one of the most important tools in the development of free software.
- Over time GCC has been extended to support many additional languages,including Fortran,ADA,Java and Objectice-C.The acronym（首字母縮略詞） GCC is now used to the "GNU Compiler Collection".Its development is guided（制導(dǎo)的） by the GCC Streeing Committee（委員會）,a group composed（鎮(zhèn)靜的） of representatives（代表） from GCC user communities in industry,research and academia.
