which are d best compilers for c++?

i am using codeblocks . but i find very less helpful . are der ny other compilers(IDE) which offer help like classes, functions definitions, library standard functions???
if you're under windows then MSVC++ is the best IMO, howerver standard libraries are available in any C++ IDE.
visual studio has the most beautiful user friendly interface and a lot of useful tools which you may like very much.
express version is free and other versions are not.

on another side there is no such luch for linux :/
for linux eather codebocks, netbeans or eclipse(runs on java runtime)... or any other.

cheers.
The situation which standard do you want to be under?

GCC is the most complete of the C++11 standard, and it can run on any platform, usually.

Code::Blocks is an IDE. Usually, the compiler behind it is GCC. Although, Code::Blocks can be used with a number of Compilers such as openWatcom and even the Mircosoft one.

MSVC++ is the Microsoft combination of an IDE and compiler.

Most of these compilers have a complete C++98/03 standard in them by default. openWatcom might be the most limited of the ones mentioned.

Which one is the best is a state of mind of the User and each have their own quirks to get around.
Code:Blocks is not a compiler. It's an IDE. In what platform do you run it?

For example I am using it in Linux and by default it uses gcc.
Go to Settings->Compiler and Debugger... (I hope it's the same in windows)
for a list of available compilers in your machine.

So you can use many different compilers in the same IDE.
