Dev-C++ is not a compiler, it is an integrated development environment (IDE). An IDE contains everything you need to compile a program. This includes a program to edit your C++ source files, a compiler, a linker, and a debugger (linkers and debuggers will be explained shortly). The compiler, linker, and debugger that the Dev-C++ IDE uses are Windows versions of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). The GCC is an open source project that is written by a large and vibrant developer community. You can find the GCC at http://gcc.gnu.org. The Windows version of the GCC is also an open source project whose home page is www.mingw.org.
