C Compilers?

What are the different c compilers available on QNX 6.1 and their
differences? I see gcc and qcc. I see that QNX suggests using qcc. I’d be
interested in hearing the reasoning for this suggestion. I currently use
qcc so it is not a problem, but am just curious as to why it is recommended.

TIA,

Jim

They are the same compilers, just different compiler drivers. Add the -v
option to see that really they are just executing some backend utilities.

qcc was devised because it suits our configuration better in some ways. It was
also intended to allow for different back-end compilers, although at the moment
we only have the GNU compilers.
