This version of C++ contains special functions and objects to handle the Windows environment. These files, stored as CPP files, compile through the Visual C++ compiler.

I am going to show you how to compile a C++ program on Linux. I’ll demonstrate it on Ubuntu Desktop 23.04, I’ll use the tried and true Hello, World! app as an example.

A compiler is a computer program that translates from one format to another, most often from a high-level computer language to byte code and machine code.

Major release of the open-source compiler collection also includes vectorization improvements and faster compiling of very large input files.
