Hi all,
I ask this in a new post 'cos I figured there is a better chance of more
people reading a new post than a reply.
(and if you don’t know what reply I’m referring to then I have made my point
Anyways, the question I have is:
“What are the merits of using qcc/QCC instead of gcc for QNX?”
I use the QNX RTP, and after a bunch of installations, I still don’t see
what the advantage of using qcc/QCC is over gcc??? (The docs recommend using
qcc over gcc and even ld)
Could someone please clarify this so persistent question I have?
Thank you.

The real reason for using qcc is that we don’t ship gcc drivers for the
non-x86 platforms. So by using qcc and the -V options you can target other
CPU’s other then x86.

IMHO … There are more diffrences between qcc and gcc … see below:

I don’t think either cdm’s answer or this kb article is acurate!
a simple example is:
If you use g++ to compile some C++ programs that come from other Unix,
most often you need the -fhonor-std (or add “using namespace std;” in the code)
-fno-builtin (or define _GCC_BUILTINS).
But if you use QCC, you don’t need that stuff.
Is the difference clear?

qcc gives you a common front end command that will compile almost anything
you want on your system, you don’t have to change commands based on language
you’re compiling.
qcc has lots of config files that allow you to customize how you compile
until the ends of the earth!
Also the idea is sort of legacy: the same type of front end was used in QNX4
with Watcom compilers.
