Which C++ compiler do you use for Windows and why ?
I use Borland C++ Builder and GNU G++ with wxWidgets.
I've been a long supporter of Borland since the
Turbo Pascal Days. They also don't take up as much
harddisk space as Microsoft. Although I do have some
issues with their library (especially the AnsiString
class).
Recently (since last year), I've moved to using GNU
G++ on Cygwin with wxWidgets. Borland's database
drivers were driving me insane and I couldn't get
around some problems, so I switched.
Microsoft is a nice compiler, as long as you do
things their way, such as using the MFC. They believe
or the want to be the standard in the language, which
confuses a lot of newbies.
For embedded systems, I recommend the Metaware
compiler. They have really good support people,
and their debugging code supports a lot of ICEs.
