    Different compilers?

    I was looking through a list of different C++ compilers and there were 3 main ones.

    Visual C++
    Borland
    Dev-C++

    I am just wondering if there is actually any difference in the programming aspect of these compilers. Which one is the best?

    Dev-C++ is an environment, that uses the GCC C++ compiler (GNU Compiler Collection).

    The main thing to watch out for is how conformant they are to the relevant standards. From what I've seen, I would put GCC, followed by Visual C++ 7, followed by Borland.

    Under Windows, I prefer VC++ to GCC because its more suited to the OS, but for any Unix work I always use GCC in favour of any specific vendor's tools if I can.
