Like gcc@10, it preserves a specific GNU Compiler Collection major version for projects that need a stable compiler generation. ### Project history The official GCC timeline lists GCC 11.1 on April 27, 2021, then 11.2 in July 2021, 11.3 in April 2022, 11.4 in May 2023, and 11.5 in July 2024. The GCC 11 change notes call out a default C++ mode change to gnu++17, new diagnostic column behavior, sanitizer improvements, DWARF 5 debug information defaults for many targets, and a C++11-capable host compiler requirement for building GCC itself. ### Adoption history Versioned GCC 11 packages became useful as distributions and users moved past GCC 10 but still needed to pin a compiler before later GCC majors. For package managers, a versioned formula lets recipes and local builds request gcc-11, g++-11, or gfortran-11 without making the whole system follow that major. ### How it is used The Homebrew package exposes version-suffixed tools such as cpp-11, gcov-11, lto-dump-11, and target-prefixed gcc/g++/gfortran executables. Upstream source control uses the same GCC repository with release branches such as releases/gcc-11 and release tags documented by the GCC Git page. ### Why package nerds care gcc@11 is important as a compatibility and migration package: it carries the first GCC major where gnu++17 became the default C++ mode, while still giving packagers a pinned compiler older than the newest GCC line. ### Timeline - 1987: GCC 1.0 released. - 2021: GCC 11.1 released. - 2021: GCC 11.2 released. - 2022: GCC 11.3 released. - 2023: GCC 11.4 released. - 2024: GCC 11.5 released. ### Related projects - GCC 11 is related to the main GCC project, libstdc++, binutils, gcov, LTO tooling, sanitizer runtimes, and neighboring versioned package-manager formulae such as gcc@10 and unversioned gcc. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for gcc@11.
