C compilers and IDE

I dnt know whether this post fits here or not, but please let me know about latest compilers and IDE for C/C++ which is latest and updated. I have heard about turbo,dev,mingw,eclipse etc. Please share experience of yours and the one you are using. Does eclipse IDE includes a compiler also?

Hi,

For writing Windows C++ applications I usually stick to these 3 compilers:
- Visual Studio
- Borland CodeGears
- Eclipse CDT + MinGW compiler.

These are kept up to date and provide a nice IDE to develop in, aswell as a large community to fall back to in case of support.

I'm not reall sure if the Eclipse IDE comes with a default C++ compiler. I've always used the MinGW compiler and adjusted Eclipse to run that compiler. I'm guessing they have a Java based local compiler in it, but I might be wrong.

Eclipse doesn't come with a compiler it assumes you have installed gcc (Linux) or MinGW (Windows).

If Eclipse is a bit daunting (and it can be) then another lighter weight multi-platform IDE that uses MinGW/gcc is Code:Blocks

I would avoid Dev-C++ now as I believe it is no longer maintained.

What target platform do you wish to execute your programs on?
(For example, Windows, Macintosh, Linux, Unix, embedded processsors, etc.)
