You can use gcc/g++ or if you need it on windows may be go for mingw!

I use several compilers, because I work on Embedded systems, which means different compilers for different target architectures. However, there are two clear candidates that will work well with PC's:Originally Posted by ElemenT.usha
- Microsoft Visual Studio - a free version called Visual Studio Express is available from www.microsoft.com
- gcc - This is the "Gnu Compiler Collection", which is a open source project [so when you have ten or so years of experience in C, you could download the compiler and "check out how the compiler works" - but this is not a beginners exercise]. There are several IDE's that use gcc as the compiler, such as Dev-CPP and Code::Blocks.
I use Visual Studio for much of my work at Home, and gcc at work different things for PC/Windows development. For embedded development I use a different set of compilers that are neither free, nor suitable for use to compile on a PC, so it's pretty meaningless for you.

Compilers can produce warnings - make the compiler programmers happy: Use them!
Please don't PM me for help - and no, I don't do help over instant messengers.
thanxx for that... so i ll move up to visual studio...........
and one more thing..... i now know pretty much of c and data structures....
i want to completely know every nook of the language like its real time applications and others.... can you do the favour of directing me......
