Suggestions for guides or books on C compilers for mac OS

Posted 21 days ago

What tutorials, guides or books might I study to understand what C language compilers are available for mac os and how those might be installed for use in Notebooks?

I have used some of the basic Compile[.] and FunctionCompile[.] features but the last time I wrote C was in the daze of BSD and UniSoft. I retired before GitHub was a thing, so anything I knew is obsolete.
I looked at Apple Developer but everything there presumed you wanted to write ios apps. Does the C or C++ compile in Xcode allow access from WL?

Any help or guidance is welcome...

A belated thank you, Mr. Brown. Your response clarified things for me… I recall bash as a shell, did clang arise from similar sentiment?

You will need Xcode tools to be downloaded and installed from the Mac App Store. It has the "clang" C and C++ compiler. Then you can access all of the interfacing capability of Wolfram Language and compiled code.
