XCode is really nothing more than a GUI front-end for a wide-variety of coding tools. Both C and C++ are built-in to the Mac operating system so you can use the cc command line tool to compile both C and C++, however most users prefer a GUI to the command line, thus gaining the advantage of a more integrated development environment (IDE). XCode integrates with gcc, which is better suited to cross-platform development than the built-in cc compiler.

Are there any free Mac C Plus Plus compilers besides Apple Xcode?

Xcode is a suite of software applications that aid the creation of software for the Mac. The actual compiler used by Xcode is the Gnu Compiler Collection (GCC) from the Fee Software Foundation. If you do not like the tools provided with Xcode the compiler can be run from the Terminal application (c++ yourSourceName.cc ), or any other suitable editor can be used with it. Other options include Eclipse or Intel's own compilers (free for evaluation). (See links below)
