A good compiler please....

[Nikhil Bokare]

Can anyone suggest me a good, small, easy to use compiler which
follows ANSI C standards?

I use TurboC for the sole reason that I am quite used to it. It does
not follow some of the ANSI C standards.

I have to say I disagree with this. I think lint really blows :(

My compiler is already extremely picky with -W -ansi -pedantic, but
with lint you get screen after screen of spurious warnings even for a
100-line toy program. Sorting out all the cruft from the lint output
for a production-sized program would be an inconceivable burden.

I think Dev C++ IDE with Cygwin(gcc) compiler would fit your
requirement.

I mean Dev C++ IDE with MinGW(gcc) compiler. I got confused with
Cygwin and MinGW, anyway both of them are configurable with Dev C++.

Then for DevC the OP must type a file name of the form xxx.c when he creates
a new ffile. Appending ".c" makes it a C compiler.

What happened to -Wall, not to mention some others.

No. He asked for a C compiler, not IDE. I suggested
Dev C++ IDE with MinGW compiler(which is a gcc port to
Windows and has both C and C++ compilers). And Dev C++
is an IDE for both C and C++.

He asked for "easy to use" and compared with turbo C which kind of hints
at an IDE too. You could do a lot worse than Eclipse with the CDT plugin
for a C IDE which in turn uses gcc as a compiler backend. It has very
good Intellisense like functionality and code cross referencing.

Ideal for a beginner.

Eclipse "know how" is never a bad thing to have. Yes, its a bit on the
"heavy" side, but all (spit) Java apps are ...

I don't get screen after screen with lint warnings....

If Sun can keep a kernel lint clean, then you can do the same:

19. You have the following additional responsibilitie s when integrating
changes to
the kernel:

o Your changes must not introduce any lint errors. See tips on keeping
the kernel lint clean at /shared/ON/general_docs/lint_tips.txt.

o For the kernel, changes must conform to the C coding style.

Thanks for all the help.
I would also like to have an IDE.
But the basic requirement is it should work perfectly according to
ANSI standards in WindowsXP environtment.
