cc & gcc

[nappaji]

Does any one know what's the major difference between using cc & gcc.

I used it on a program on a HP-UX machine and it gave me different results. cc worked but gcc did not.

Probably it has something to do with byte boundaries...

Any input is greatly appreciated..

Run
cc -v
and
gcc -v

and compare version information. I know that gcc is the GNU c compiler, CC is maybe something else, that'll tell you.

I had no problems with gcc. Just pay more attention to gcc compilation options. Be sure you set all properly.
What I have found that gcc works MUCH MORE SLOWER in 10 or more times that vendor compiler with c++.
