Currently I use Vivid( Ubuntu 15.04 ) and I want to upgrade it to Xenial ( Ubuntu 16.04 ), I know I should invoke do-release-upgrade but if I invoke that will my files and softwares ( for example gcc 6.1.0 ) be intact or they will be cleaned?

No. An upgrade (as done by the Software Updater app or through do-release-upgrade) is an in-place upgrade, meaning that all it will do is update software to the latest version.

In short, your files shall be untouched, and your software and Ubuntu version upgraded.
