It's probably pretty good, but it's easy to write non-standards compliant code because Visual C++ provides a lot of tools for GUI programming under Windows. I stick with GCC, but it's not necessarily the most efficient compiler.

Does it mean GCC is better than visual Studio for Professional Independent Developers.Who are developing Platform Independent Softwares.

It depends on what you're doing. I use GCC with wxWidgets, for example. There are a lot of professional quality programs written in it, and the tools are completely free.

gcc is better if your writing platform independent code

Thanks t oall

WingedPanther do you use Windows XP or Linux, How can I use GCC with wxgadgets in Microsoft Windows XP,
And by the way I want a Programming enviroment for Developing Game Engines,
and writing big size source code with the avalibalility of more Libraraies will help me out with my work.
I have learned bascis C++ in School Through Turbo C++ 3.0 , is it as good as GCC.
