GNU Pascal (GPC) is a Pascal compiler composed of a frontend to GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), similar to the way Fortran and other languages were added to GCC.

Typically, new major versions are adopted only slowly (still mostly at 3.x, with 4.x experimental builds).

In July 2010 a developer publicly asked opinion (it vanished from the web between July 2014 and June 2015) on the future of GNU Pascal, due to developer shortage and maintenance issues as a GCC port.

There was a lively discussion on the maillist where the developers seemed to lean towards reimplementing in C++ with a C code generating backend.

The maillist went to sleep again, and as of December 2016[update] no further releases or announcements about the future course of the project have been made.
