Gcc now handles key set of languages, 2004-07-28, Rating: 4.

Given the the author of this book wrote the original gcc, and has been closely involved with its development in the intervening years, you can safely regard the book as definitive.

Stallman clearly is writing for someone already familiar with C. Very little of your time is wasted by wading through elementary material.

When I first used gcc years ago, it was just that: strictly for compiling C programs. But Stallman and other developers have dramatically expanded the scope. Now, the book describes how gcc can handle a key set of languages - the original (ANSI) C, C++, Fortran and Java. The set of C, C++ and Fortran probably spans most engineering and scientific legacy applications. Terrific value!
