The GNU Compiler Collection (gcc) is a widely used, free collection of compilers including C (gcc), C++ (g++) and Fortran (gfortran). The defaut version of gcc on the system is 4.4.7
gcc -v

It is possible to switch to other versions of the gcc compiler suite using modules. After connecting to iceberg (see Establishing a SSH connection), start an interactive sesssion with the qrsh or qsh command. Choose the version of the compiler you wish to use using one of the following commands
module load compilers/gcc/6.2
module load compilers/gcc/5.4
module load compilers/gcc/5.3
module load compilers/gcc/5.2
module load compilers/gcc/4.9.2
module load compilers/gcc/4.8.2
module load compilers/gcc/4.5.3
Alternatively load the most recent available version using
module load compilers/gcc
Confirm that you’ve loaded the version of gcc you wanted using gcc -v.
Which version(s) of GCC support which features of the C99 and C11 standards?
Which version(s) of GCC support which features of the C++98, C++11, C++14 and C++17 standards?
man pages are available on the system. Once you have loaded the required version of gcc, type
man gcc
