Where can I get a c++ compiler?
« on: November 06, 2003, 10:32:48 AM »
Does anyone know where I can download a fair decent free C++ compiler? I'm taking a C++ class at school and wanted to be able to work on some stuff at home, too.

Uhmm if it were me I would just go with installing linux on your machine and use emacs.  Emacs is really a great text editor with auto formatting that works like a dream.  Whenever I'm writing code (especially C) I always end up going back to emacs on my Linux box.  I know installing linux just for a c compiler may seem silly, but linux is something everyone should try out anyway.

I'm not going to install Linux on my computer, man. I'm too lazy to do that- I'm even surprised I'm asking where to get a compiler now.

What compiler do you use at school?  I wouldn't be surprised if you could get a trial version of it or maybe even a student version.  There may be a time restriction on it but at least it's better than nothing if you need a compiler right away.

I use Turbo C++ at school, which sucks- I've crashed my computer there 5 or 6 times using it. I don't need it urgently, so I'm content waiting for something better. Palezero is helping me find a good compiler to use.

We use MS Visual C++
try this one on for size.  Type a command that should open up a file and you can crash your pc.  It's awesome.

I don't know if it's better than Turbo (having never used it) but I use Dev-C++, which you can download for free at http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html .  

Man, I wish my school had a C++ class.  I've learned some of it using online tutorials.

I'm a Visual Studio user myself.  But it costs a fortune if you want to actually buy it.  The cheaper alternative is Dev C++ which Goldshadow posted a link to.  It's a fine compiler, and will serve you well.

And be sure to try STL (the Standard Template Library), best thing for all common structures/algorithms like quick sort, arrays (vectors), strings, and much more.

Dev-C++ uses the GCC 3. One of the few 100% standard compliant C++ compilers.

I used bloodshed, which I found from a link at cprograming.com I think.  Nice and simple for starting out with.
