How to install gcc and its related packages?

In Debian, we can install a virtual package build-essential which relys on packages like gcc and libc6-dev to bulid a base development environment.
If I want to compile the source codes in Arch Linux , or compile my codes, which packages should i install??

none usually, it's all there already

You are basically expected to compile, using makepkg, all packages you want/need in the AUR, so the standard toolkit is already available...

if not

pacman -S gcc

A lot of packages depend on GCC in Arch, so you'll probably have it on your system already anyway.
