g++

Compiles C++ source files. Part of GCC (GNU Compiler Collection). More information: https://gcc.gnu.org.

• Compile a source code file into an executable binary:

g++ {{source.cpp}} -o {{output_executable}}

• Display (almost) all errors and warnings:

g++ {{source.cpp}} -Wall -o {{output_executable}}

• Choose a language standard to compile for(C++98/C++11/C++14/C++17):

g++ {{source.cpp}} -std={{language_standard}} -o {{output_executable}}

• Include libraries located at a different path than the source file:

g++ {{source.cpp}} -o {{output_executable}} -I{{header_path}} -L{{library_path}} -l{{library_name}}
