Good C++ compiler for XP

Is there a good compiler out for XP?

Or will Bloodshed Dev compiler work?

as for compilers, i use mingw 3.2 mostly, and rarely borland bcc55.

I've been using Dev-C++ Ver 4 with XP-home. It has it's quirks, but most of the time it's OK. I like MSVC++ 6.0 better (hate to admit it :)) but it has quirks too.

Actually, I think the most reliable one is the Borland CPP Builder 5.5 (free download from borland.com), if you don't mind using a command-line compiler.

i like visual c++ 7.0 (part of .net), you can get a the standard version for about 50-100$ if you look around, its not that bad. i have the whole visual studio suite so im not sure about how much exactly, but i heard it was around that price. i like the compiler & a seksi IDE

I choose to use my reserved right....STFB

RoD, that was quite uncalled for.

I dont see why. One of the rules is to do a search of the boards before you post to see if the topic was already presented. Considering the sickening repetition of compiler suggestions and the like i think its quite called for.

MSVC++ 6

RoD, get off the power trip. To be able to say something like that, you have to be a well respected member, like Salem, Fordy, Prelude, any other mod, etc. You don't exactly fit in this category of "I've helped a ton of people so I can say stuff like this." So, STFU.

That will do.....

A few options have been given, any more can be found with a websearch...DevC++ is fine for windows as it produces windows executables and has all the headers & libs
