Dear All,

I am learning C++. Can anyone suggest a good Standard C++ Compiler
for
Windows ?

FYI, i am using dual OS i.e:Fedora Core 3 (FC 3) dan Win XP. In FC
3, i
have
GNU g++ compiler.

From :"Arthur Pemberton",
well, Borland just isn't what it used to be. So I am going to have to
suggest Microsoft Visual Studio, I don't much use it myslf, however I
do know that code which compiles in g++ tends to compile on it, with
slight mods.

From: "jdow",
I believe if you dig around msdn.microsoft.com you can find yourself
a free, for awhile, copy of the Visual C++ compiler, which means if
you get into Microsoft specific "stuff" you'll have a toop to work
with.
Otherwise you get to go through the gyrations needed to install
the gnu compilers on Windows. It can be done. I've not tried it.
Others here have, I am sure.
Hi, Arthur and jdow,
I don't want to get into Micro$oft specific "stuff". VC++ will be my
last
choice. I would like portable C++ code.

I have ever heard about Intel C++ compiler. Does Intel C++ compiler
support
Standard C++?

Thanks.

I use Dev-C++ [1] on the computers at school. It's a Windows port
(MinGW) of the GNU build tools with a nice graphical IDE.

Hope that helps.

I'd echo using Dev-C++. I've used it before when I wanted to start a
project when I was away from home for a while (and therefore didn't have
access to my VC++). It's a relatively small download and a very simple
install, yet it still gives full functionality (from the Win32 API
perspective. If you need MFC, then you'll have to use VC++ though).


If you are taking a class then just go with the flow. That is, use
Microsoft Visual Studio if it is installed on the class computers.
Visual Studio Express is free. If you need more features many schools
offer students Visual Studio Professional at a very attractive price.
No sense in putting yourself at a disadvantage. Most beginning classes
and textbooks stick to the fundamentals so you are not likely to run
into compliance issues.


The Intel compiler is excellent as far as producing quality code. It's
also expensive... $400. You can get an evaluation copy for some period
of time. I believe that it maintains ANSI Standard.

Yunis,

I hve used the MS tool. They basically ripped the IDE off of Borland.
Anyways, I used it just to verify that my code would compile in it,
after developing it in Fedora/Kdevelop/g++ , and basically, if it
compiles in Visual Studio, it will compile in g++. Not sure if that is
good enough for you.

Hi All,

Thanks for all suggestion. It's time to learn the language now.

Best Regards,
Yunus
