Notes:
Uses an EDG Front End.[31]
The Cray C++ Libraries do not support wide characters and only support a single locale.
The EDGE C/C++ compiler is based on the Microtec C/C++ compiler.
Last Open64 v5.0 uses GCC 4.2 as its Front End, which doesn't support any C++11.[33][34]

Production quality, free/libre and open source compilers.
- Amsterdam Compiler Kit (ACK) [C, Pascal, Modula-2, Occam, and BASIC] [Unix-like]
- Clang C/C++/Objective-C Compiler
- AMD Optimizing C/C++ Compiler
- FreeBASIC [Basic] [DOS/Linux/Windows]
- Free Pascal [Pascal] [DOS/Linux/Windows(32/64/CE)/MacOS/NDS/GBA/..(and many more)]
- GCC: C, C++ (G++), Java (GCJ), Ada (GNAT), Objective-C, Objective-C++, Fortran (GFortran), and Go (GCCGo); also available, but not in standard are: Modula-2, Modula-3, Pascal, PL/I, D, Mercury, VHDL; Linux, the BSDs, macOS, NeXTSTEP, Windows and BeOS, among others
- Local C compiler [C] [Linux, SPARC, MIPS]
- The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure which is also frequently used for research
- Portable C Compiler [C] [Unix-like]
- Open Watcom [C, C++, and Fortran] [Windows and OS/2, Linux/FreeBSD WIP]
- TenDRA [C/C++] [Unix-like]
- Tiny C Compiler [C] [Linux, Windows]
- Open64, supported by AMD on Linux.
- XPL PL/I dialect (several systems)
- Swift [Apple OSes, Linux, Windows (as of version 5.3)]
Research compilers are mostly not robust or complete enough to handle real, large applications. They are used mostly for fast prototyping new language features and new optimizations in research areas.
Was added in version 9.30. The tools and license include the suffix "bx".
