developer productivity and production stability
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced the general availability of Red Hat Developer
Toolset 3.1, Red Hat's selection of some of the latest, stable open
source C and C++ compilers and complementary development tools.
Available through the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Developer Program and
related subscriptions, Red Hat Developer Toolset 3.1 streamlines
application development on the world's leading enterprise Linux
platform, enabling developers to compile applications once and deploy
across multiple versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
New to Red Hat Developer Toolset 3.1 are:
-
GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 4.9.2, the latest stable upstream
version of GCC, which provides numerous improvements and bug fixes
-
Eclipse 4.4.2 with support for Java 8 and updated versions of
Eclipse CDT (8.6), Eclipse Linux Tools (3.2), Eclipse Mylyn (3.14.2),
and Eclipse EGit/JGit (3.6.1)

Additional updated packages, including GDB 7.8.2, elfutils
0.161, memstomp 0.1.5, SystemTap 2.6, Valgrind 3.10.1, Dyninst 8.2.1,
and ltrace 0.7.91.
As with all versions of Red Hat Developer Toolset, Red Hat Developer
Toolset 3.1 allows for the creation of applications compatible with both
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 across
physical, virtual and cloud environments, including OpenShift, Red Hat's
award-winning Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering. Additionally, these
tools are delivered on a lifecycle separate from that of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux, helping developers stay up-to-date with the latest
innovations while retaining deployment stability.
