Announcing new compilers for GCC Explorer

I’m very pleased to announce that GCC Explorer now supports some new compilers, and new architectures:

• x86 GCC 4.8.2
• x86 Clang 3.5
• Power PC GCC 4.8
• ARM gcc 4.8
• ARM64 gcc 4.8.2

It’s been a long process to get here: keeping all the old Ubuntu 12.04 compilers but supporting these newer ones on Ubuntu 14.04 was tricky. I ended up using a 12.04 Docker image (after much pain) and then adding support to passing through to other GCC explorer instances.

I hope to add more compilers soon. Next on my hitlist is GCC 4.9.2 and a GCC 5.0 snapshot. I’ll update here when I do.
