Embarcadero C++Builder is a RAD C++ environment (compiler system & IDE) and component framework for Windows, OS X, iOS and Android.

C++Builder utilizes the Embarcadero RAD Studio IDE, along with Delphi. Many internal code and visual components use Delphi.

C++Builder was first released by Borland in 1997. The spin-off company CodeGear made several release from 2007-2008 (versions 2007, 2009). In 2008 CodeGear was purchased by Embarcadero Technologies, who continued development.

The current version C++Builder (10.3 Rio) released in November 2018 with support for Win32, Win64, OSX, iOS (32 and 64 bit) and Android.

  • The Windows, iOS-32 and Android compiler are based off of CLANG 3.3.
  • The iOS-64 compiler is based off of CLANG 3.5.
  • The OS X compiler is based on the proprietary Embarcadero compiler and is not C++11 compliant.
