Compiling and Building program in C++

Updated

C++ uses Compiler to compiler and check errors before run the program, else erroneous C++ program can not be run. If there is any error in the program, then you have to remove those errors by correcting program. Then you can run the program.

Compilation

To compiler program, there are various compilers available depending on your operating system.

Note –
Most of the operating systems does not contain a compiler, so we have to install it later.

These are various compiler as given below:

  1. GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection g++
  2. clang: a C language family frontend for LLVM clang++
  3. MSVC, Microsoft Visual C++ (included in Visual Studio) visual – C++
  4. C++Builder, Embarcadero C++ Builder (included in RAD Studio) C++ builder

You need to check official manual of appropriate compiler, to learn how to compile and run a C++ program on that compiler.
