How do I check my gcc C++ compiler version for my Eclipse?
LinuxEclipseFedoraLinux Problem Overview
I'm using Eclipse release version 3.7.0, but I can't find the gcc anywhere. How and where can I see the version of gcc I'm currently using?
Linux Solutions
Solution 1 - Linux
Just type
gcc --version
in any terminal near you.. ;-)
Solution 2 - Linux
gcc -dumpversion
> -dumpversion Print the compiler version (for example, 3.0) — and don't do anything else.
The same works for following compilers/aliases:
cc -dumpversion
g++ -dumpversion
clang -dumpversion
tcc -dumpversion
Be careful with automate parsing the GCC output:
-
Output of
--versionmight be localized (e.g. to Russian, Chinese, etc.) -
GCC might be built with option --with-gcc-major-version-only. And some distros (e.g. Fedora) are already using that
-
GCC might be built with option --with-pkgversion. And
--versionoutput will contain something likeAndroid (5220042 based on r346389c) clang version 8.0.7(it's real version string)
Solution 3 - Linux
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("gcc version: %d.%d.%d\n",__GNUC__,__GNUC_MINOR__,__GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__);
return 0;
}
Solution 4 - Linux
The answer is:
gcc --version
Rather than searching on forums, for any possible option you can always type:
gcc --help
haha! :)
Solution 5 - Linux
you can also use gcc -v command that works like gcc --version and if you would like to now where gcc is you can use whereis gcc command
I hope it'll be usefull
