gcc -dumpversion   -dumpversion Print the compiler version  for example  3 0      and don t do anything else   The same works for following compilers aliases  cc -dumpversion g   -dumpversion clang -dumpversion tcc -dumpversion  Be careful with automate parsing the GCC output   Output of --version might be localized  e g  to Russian  Chinese  etc   GCC might be built with option --with-gcc-major-version-only  And some distros  e g  Fedora  are already using that GCC might be built with option --with-pkgversion  And --version output will contain something like Android  5220042 based on r346389c  clang version 8 0 7  it s real version string
