This almost certainly doesn’t matter to you, especially for CSC173. You can tell this from the output of cc -version: % cc -versionĪpple clang version 12.0.5 (clang-1205.0.22.11)Īpple also makes the name gcc an alias for clang since many programs and packages developed by the open software community assume that the compiler is named gcc (the “ GNU Compiler Collection”).
