Topic: C

Subject: gnu c,c++

Question
what is the major difference between gnu c,c++ and turbo c,c++.where can i download gnu c,c++ from(plz exactly specify the URL).i m sure u must have heard of firefox
people tell me that it was written in c,c++.but how is it possible.the firefox front end supports more than 16 colors(32bit)but c,c++ languages do not support more than 16 colors.can you tell me in detail plz

Answer
there is nothing called gnu c,c++................guess u r asking about gcc.
gcc and turbo are different compilers.
turbo runs only in windows.
whereas gcc can run in linux and all other gnu operating systems and windows also.
to install gcc in windows u need to install cygwin first.
gcc :        gcc.gnu.org/mirrors.html  or  linux.softpedia.com/get/Programming/Compilers/GCC-641.shtml
cygwin :         www.cygwin.com/mirrors.html

..................................................................
who said firefox is developed only in c and c++..i guess in the previous question you asked about this and i have given appropriate reply..
that firefox' front end was developed in XUL, Javascript, XBL, and C++..
here i dint mention 'c' at all :)

in 'c u have various flavours like system c,embedded c,unix c,etc,etc

even c can be used to build gui aplications but no one prefers.usually java or .net or tcl/tk or vb,vc++ cos coding is very easy and even the look and feel..

i guess in the case of firefox xul was used to develop the user interface..and c++ to provide functionality to the gui objects.
as in ns2 ,u use tcl for gui and c++ for back end functionality..

i will advise you to google a bit on the question you asked.
did you atleast refer    http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Mozilla_Source_Code_Directory_Structure#bro...
