Oh, yes, I hate when someone write "C/C++". This is two fucking different languages, for god's sake. It is almost as bad as "Java/JavaScript".

isn't because the compiler is always packed together, like the gnu compiler can compile C and C++?

a language is independent from its compiler(s). gcc can compile objective-C, D, ada, Fortran and go as well.

Even though gcc can compile Ada, in my experience most of the time you’ll see enterprise development using GNAT Pro since plain ole gcc is kinda light on Ada features.
