: I believe cc (c compiler) is what generally comes on a Unix box.  With linux,

: anything c++ish.  From the man page, 'g++ is a script to call gcc with options

Except I think on some machines, cc == gcc, and g++ == egcs.  Its all a
vicious conspiracy.  Suffice to say, in the Bad Old Days (tm) cc was
a symlink to gcc, and g++ was a symlink to gcc.  Gcc would act a little
differently depending on what you called it.
