What compiler do you use?

Apple LLVM compiler (Xcode)... probably no good for you.
CL (Visual Studio/C++)
GCC/MinGW (Xcode/Code::Blocks)

...there is no 'best'.
What compiler do you use?


Dev-C++ 5 with MinGW 4, currently.

What do you mean "as many c++ library as possible"? You can add the libraries you need, by yourself.
I use Code::Blocks.

Code::Blocks is an IDE, not a compiler. Code::Blocks does in fact use MinGW as its default compiler. Although, it does support multiple compilers such as Digital Mars, and Cygwin.

I use the compiler that came with Visual C++ 2010 Express. It's good, but could be better. I'll probably ship to MinGW's compiler suite once it supports C++11 fully. I've always like MinGW's compilers.

Yes, I said the IDE. I should say the compiler, and It's MinGW.
nice one
