Title: GNU GCC compiler for C/C++
Post by: phibit on February 19, 2016, 03:49:17 am

My compiler is "GNU GCC compiler".

Is there some way to find out the version of this compiler and the version of C++ it compiles for?

Is there some way to choose the version of this compiler?

The reason I ask is that it doesn't recognize the string method pop_back() in code that I compile and run in another IDE.

go to "Settings->Compiler and Debugger->Global Compiler settings->Toolchain executables"

Look at the path for "Compiler Installation Directory"; the compiler is in a bin folder under that location.

My "Compiler Installation Directory" is "C:\Apps32\MinGW-4.7.1-save".

Code

cd C:\Apps32\MinGW-4.7.1-save

C:\Apps32\MinGW-4.7.1-save>cd bin

C:\Apps32\MinGW-4.7.1-save\bin>mingw32-gcc.exe --version
mingw32-gcc.exe (tdm-1) 4.7.1

In Linux you prolly would have a link or a pre-built libs and toolchain included/installed in Linux, which is called in Code::Blocks using "gcc"
So all you got to do is open a terminal then type "gcc --version"
You can also print more help if you need all the options using "gcc --help"

Thank you for the replies! I put them to use, trying two GNU compilers so far.
