Why this program matters

  • Without expert mastery of GCC for C and C++ compilation, your builds become time-consuming and unstable, generating hidden bugs during development.

  • Teams lose an average of 12 hours per week on unnecessary debugging, or 8 000 € monthly per developer in wasted productivity.

  • 75 % of security leaks in production on GNU/Linux stem from poorly managed GCC optimizations, exposing the company to GDPR fines up to 4 % of revenue and critical service outages.

  • Every month without advanced expertise compromises project deadlines, blocks promotions, and jeopardizes business competitiveness.

GCC training objectives

  • Deeply understand GCC's architecture and its toolchain
  • Master advanced compilation options, from optimization to producing robust binaries
  • Automate compilation with make and cmake
  • Efficiently deploy compiled applications across different environments
  • Debug, profile, and analyze program performance using GCC and associated tools

GCC curriculum: 3 modules over 3 days

Module 1 : Getting Started with GCC and Understanding the Compilation Chain

Presentation of GCC and its open-source positioning. Overview of the compilation chain (preprocessor, compilation, assembly, linking). Detailed analysis of gcc and g++ operation. Simple compilation, basic parameters, handling multiple source files. C and C++ use cases.

Module 2 : Advanced Compilation Options, Optimization, and Automation

In-depth exploration of compiler options: optimization (-O1, -O2, -O3, -Os), warning and error management, debug/release separation. Makefile generation, writing and optimizing make scripts, introduction to cmake. Management of specific flags, multi-platform builds, cross-compilation, dependency handling. Practical exercises on various projects.

Module 3 : Debugging, Profiling, and Deployment with GCC

Using gcc to integrate debug symbols, introduction to gdb, Valgrind for memory leak detection, performance analysis with gprof. Creating static and dynamic binaries, linking options, distribution and portability. Best practices for security and robustness. Final workshop: compilation, debugging, and optimization of a complex application.

How GCC skills are assessed

  • Quizzes at the beginning and end of the session
  • Graded practical exercises (compilation, debugging, and optimization)
  • Final group project to present

How the GCC course is taught

  • Technical presentations with step-by-step concept illustrations
  • Numerous hands-on exercises on a dedicated virtual server
  • PDF course materials and scripts provided

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your GCC training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
