    Sorry...

    Sorry, I put a comma at the end of the URL and it was included when vBulletin autolinked it. It should work now.

    Just to clarify the situation. "Advanced programming" is very vague. Without an exact idea of what you are calling advanced I cannot say which compiler is all around best. But using my idea of what advanced programming is I can say that any compiler could compile it. I can also say that the reason ANSI-C and ANSI-C++ were established were so that many different compilers could accomplish the same task. Therefore, any compiler that is not compiliant is not any good. With exception to Borland's crappo compilers (turbo c for dos is good though) I have not encountered any compilers that are really bad. I think all around mingw is the best--good compatibility, free, open source. Cygwin would be second--unmatched cross-platform compatibility. And MSVC++ is third. When I am writing a GUI believe me MSVC tends to find its way to the top of the list, however, it is overal not a good compiler as it is not truly ansi compliant and it is really made for making windows programs, particularly using the win32 api. Now there is no more confusion about my stance in this discussion.
