- 1. On any particular UNIX system, is there a generic command to find
- out the version of compiler (C or C++) currently installed on a
- system? If there are specific commands for different UNIX systems, I
- am particularly interested in the answers for HP-UX, Solaris, AIX and
- IRIX. I know that for a fact for GNU C++ compiler, you can usually use
- the command gcc -v command to find out the version of GNU C++ compiler
- on a particular UNIX system. However, I am more interested if there is
- any generic commands or specific commands to find out the versions of
- C/C++ compiler from each of the UNIX vendors mentioned above? I tried
- "string <path of C/C++ compiler executable> version" but this does not
- seems to work all the time.
-
- 2. Other than GNU C++ compiler, are there any third party C++ compiler
- vendors other than those supplied by the UNIX hardware vendors such as
- HP, IBM, Sun and SGI? If so, is there a list of these vendors
- somewhere on the Internet and their associated Web pages? Do these
- vendors supply a portable C++ compiler across some of the major UNIX
- platforms?
-
- Any assistance will be very much appreciated.

- Any pointers will be very much appreciated.
