Thread: Question: Which Compiler????

Ive just started programming in C and was just wondering which compiler would you recommand me to use and where i can get it from... i would prefer one thats easy to use and works quite well.

Ive heard from a lot of people that Borland is no good?

And im running win2k at the moment

Cheers,

If you are looking for a Compiler for DOS, I prefer Turbo C (TC), but ofcourse from Borland. It has been my favourite. Here's a link to download it: http://community.borland.com/article...,20841,00.html

Well Borland Turbo-C for DOS is not really the thing you want to be running in win2k

but is it more stable than borland c++ ?

Get one that can support any platform you want to work on, as well as the ability to support (or be expanded to support) platforms you *might* want to work on in the future.

And then, most importantly, get a compiler with these features:

C/C++
Disassembly
Preprocess
Inline Assembler
Debugger
Profiler

Also very good is the GCC package. A C and C++ compiler and some tools can be downloaded from:
