Any C++ Complier you guy recommend besides MS Visual Studio?

Hi
Since, I am brushing up my C++ skills, definitely want to download a decent compiler. I don't want Microsoft Visual Studio though....

Please let me know.

Many Thanks,

You can get Dev-C++.

www.bloodshed.net

Internally it uses the gcc/MingW compiler, which is one of the best out there when it comes to supporting the ANSI standard.

I think so, lot of people use it.

I use Code::Blocks with gcc/MingW.

I also like Code::Blocks(with MingW/GCC) I like the editor much much better than Dev C++(both are free). I hardly use it though because I have VS 2005 and VC++ 2003. I used to use it before I got VS or VC++.

Digital Mars Compiler is quite good too (it compiles & links fast).
But, MinGW is the best for ISO compliance.

Just to test some code...

If you hope that it'll say whether your code is ill-formed, BC++ is not bad but won't always work.
MinGW will work almost perfectly.
But it won't not say whether your code has undefined behavior.... You have to know the standard for that.

Visual C++ 2005 (Express edition) is one of the best free IDE/compiler combinations http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/ex...c/default.aspx. With it being free, it's hard to knock it!

GNU is the most widely available if you are going to compile on different platforms.
