Description

This package is a generic way to obtain the C++ compiler for your system that conda-forge used to compile its ecosystem. This compiler is, therefore, guaranteed to be ABI compatible with the conda packages you have installed.

This compiler metapackage is a convenience ONLY for users. Do NOT use this package as a build or host dependency in other recipes. Use the Jinja template function compiler('cxx') instead.
