What is a good C compiler?
What is a good C compiler?
One that compiles code correctly and generates appropriate warnings and error messages. A really good compiler is one that corrects your coding errors as part of the pre-compile routine, but they're not perfected yet.
When all else fails, read the instructions.
If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
An example ?
What do you mean by "good" compiler? "good" as in it doesn't delete your file quitely? Auto-type your code while you're asleep? It's free?

A "good" compiler is a matter of opinion, but I'm sure there are qualitties almost anyone would want in a compiler.

Probably you may be looking for some IDE.
An IDE is different from the compiler. And IDE is not a compiler.
If you want good IDE for Windows programming than in free things Dev C++ is good and the IDE that comes with LCC compiler is good.
In *Nix you can use KDevelop or search the web for it.
Among compilers for Windows programming the best compiler is Borland C++. (Borland C++ 5.5 free command line tools)
And for *Nix , No option Gcc is best.

He was looking for a compiler, probably a C compiler since he is posting this in the C board.
There are some good code-editors around like ConTEXT or Crimson Editor. Such code-editors are language independent and can be connected with several compilers and usually have support for several languages. Very usefull if you have for example two C compilers or develop using more than one language.
Just thought that he may be looking for an IDE. As many people who are new to programming dont know difference between compiler and IDE. This may or may not be the case with this post.
But who knows what is needed by whom.
If you're using gcc, download rhide as well, it's the best IDE that goes with gcc

IMO, Dev-C++ is the best IDE.
