differences between "cc" & "gcc"
From what I understand the "Unix C Compiler" aka cc is the industry standard & more secure then "GNU C Compiler" aka gcc. What are your thoughts on this? Aparently gcc has a lot of extra extensions. True??? Are they secure? I also heard that the gcc can be made to behave like cc. Is it more secure then cc in this mode.
Anyway.... which one is the way to go??

Of course GCC has a lot of extra extensions, it stands for GNU Compiler Collection (not GNU C Compiler).

GCC is the GNU Compiler Collection, which currently contains front ends for C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java, and Ada, as well as libraries for these languages (libstdc++, libgcj,...). Further frontends are available.
You should know where you can find find the above quote.
