For bang for you buck you can't beat gcc ([url]gcc.gnu.org[/url]) but if you want some real power try the Intel C++ compiler (ICL; available from Intel -- I don't remember the link) or the Sun one for AMD chips. My number crunching code compiled on ICL runs about six times faster than with gcc.

g++ and c++ are they same? what are the deferent of two languages? becuase in our school we dont usede g++.. my i know the deferent of two language?

g++(gcc) is not a language, it's a compiler for c++. I consider gcc the best compiler.

there is even a windows port of gcc

---> mingw

On Linux:
1) GCC (most supported)
2) Digital Mars C/C++
3) OpenWatcom

On Windows:
1) Digital Mars C/C++
2) OpenWatcom
3) Visual C++
4) GCC

I don't trust GCC on windows that much.

On windows:
Mcft visual studio package

Hmm I've never heard of those (bolded). I prefer devcpp visually on windows, but under linux nothing can beat gcc. I like gcc when building for OpenXDK applications on xbox, but devcpp is more appealing visually and I do use that when I'm lazy.

gcc and devc++

DevC++, mingw, and sometimes cygwin on windows.
Linux always comes with everything I need, and as for the ide either kdevelop, or just xemacs.

On windows I use DevC++ and on linux i use G++, even though i'm mostly a win developer

How many times do i need to repeat: 'devcpp uses gcc compilers'?
Read this if you don't believe me: http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html

The reason i put Digital Mars C/C++ in it is cause it compiles really fast and the results it generates are good. For a final build on windows you should always take MSVC, since its the only compiler that is totally native to windows.

I use Dev-C++ though I don't program very often.

I used to use Dev-C++ but I found it didn't have all the features of VC++, so I switched over.

For sheer speed though, you can't beat gcc, even the windows implementation. It did take me a while though to learn all the command line options I would need for each project, but that's all part of the fun

The Microsoft Compilers are still the fastest ones that are available for Windows. Simply cause it has rather exact libraries of code that is optimized for windows. While GCC, DMC, Watcom, etc... aren't really that native to windows and use cross platform C/C++ libraries.

Personnaly i use Dev-Cpp.But I don't do big projects.It's enough for me.
