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?
So if you ever need to check the version of the GCC C++ compiler that you have installed on your PC, you can do it through the command prompt by typing in the single line, g++ --version, and this will return the result.
In the Command Prompt window type “gcc” and hit enter. If the output says something like “gcc: fatal error: no input files”, that is good, and you pass the test.
The current version is GCC 7.3, released on 2018-01-25. GCC is a key component of so-called "GNU Toolchain", for developing applications and writing operating systems. The GNU Toolchain includes: GNU Compiler Collection (GCC): a compiler suite that supports many languages, such as C/C++ and Objective-C/C++.
Just type
gcc --version
in any terminal near you.. ;-)
