Can anyone here tell me what is the best c++ compiler for windows and for linux. i used Dev c++ on Windows but it sucked so what is the best compiler for windows and linux? plz tell me

[asafe]

The "best" is subjective. G++ for Linux and VSC++(whose compiler I don't remember the name) for Windows are good options.

Code::Blocks is probably the best IDE. It can use any compiler as a backend, and I think it uses g++ by default.

dev-c++ isn't a compiler, though it does use MinGW by default. In what sense did it suck?

I have Dev-c++ plus and its OK but I really like Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition its a lot better its a free trail for like thirty days then all you have to do is register which is really easy and you get the full version hope I helped.(for windows not Linux)

For windows i use Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition.

Up to now i still use Dev-C++ to try create DLL, but i still learning how to programming in C/C++ because i come from BASIC. Ah okey, based on above discussion, i am interested for using Code::Blocks too for comparison... .

MinGW is pretty good, why do you say it sucks ? It's better than the Microsoft one(depending on what you want to do), it's best if you're going to be using inline assembly. It also supports AT&T asm, I believe.

Otherwise, use Watcom, or Code::Blocks, as somebody above has said.

Code::Blocks uses MinGW by default. It's just an IDE.

Oh, my bad. I've never used Code::Blocks, lol.

I use Code::Blocks
