I used search and I didn't find a similar post from the past (which suprised me), but I could be wrong.
Anyway, I was just curious as to what compiler(s) everyone is using and why they chose it/them.
I started learning with Borland's free command-line compiler. Then my boss bought me MSVC++ 6.0 which is what I use now.
I downloaded DevC++ earlier tonight just to check it out. I haven't had a chance to mess with it yet, but at least it looks "pretty".
You could have atleast had a poll.
The last time this kind of thread came up it had a poll.
Just for that I'm not gonna post a reply to this therad.

On the polls on this you can only choose 1 option, I've not seen polls where you can choose many options. Many programmers use more than one compiler and besides it is almost impossible to to list all compilers in the poll. So to me it seems valid not having a poll at a thread like this.

It surprises me that you haven't found something. In the past there have been threads like this. I'm not sure if it was on on the GD board, but on the C board there sure are threads like this.

I've used several compilers for several languages, but these are the C/C++ compilers I currently use most:
GCC: for work
Keil C: for work
Visual C++: just for fun and it's nice for Windows programming.
There is an option to have more than 1 choice in a poll....but I dont know if its implemented on this site.
Other than that I totally agree with the last post........this thread has appeared over and over again......
....but as we have this thread
VC++6 (ent)
DevC++ 4
Turbo C

Visual C++ 7 Alpha for Windows(I have special connections)
Turbo C++ 3.1 for DOS
G++ for linux
MSVC++ 6
All spelling mistakes, syntatical errors and stupid comments are intentional.
MS VC++ 6 - every day
Borland C++ 5.5 - rarely
Borland Delphi - 2-3 times a week
MS Visual Basic - 2-3 times a month
Borland Turbo Pascal - 2-3 times a week
Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity unto the dream.
Visual C++ 7 is out... and why would you want an alpha version?Visual C++ 7 Alpha for Windows(I have special connections)
I use dev at school beause my version of MSVC 6 is pirated and the school is worried about getting sued. I MSVC++ a little more, but if you're considering cost, dev is much better.
for development-
MSVC 6 (pro)
finishing the product-
GCC on *nix
MinGW on Windows
