   Which Complier?
  I am looking at MS Visual C++ and Borland C++.  I program in C and am learning C++.  I program as a hobby.Anybody any preferences that they would be so kind to share with me?  
  i use microsoft visual c++ if you intend on making games in windows then you should get that IMO.Edited by - Chris F on 2/21/00 8:13:33 AM  ;  I use VC++, but since you program as a hobby, this post from the main GameDev.Net page might interest you:Borland C++ 5.5 Compiler Core Free!Posted by: Jesse Towner at 14:51 Wow, check this out: The Borland C++ Compiler 5.5 (BCC) is the core of Inprise''s C++ compiler technology. Borland C++ Compiler 5.5 is a blazingly fast 32-bit optimizing compiler. It includes the latest ANSI/ISO C++ compliance including the RTL, the STL framework and C++ template support. And now, Borland C++ Compiler 5.5 is openly available for free download! Head on over to Borland''s site to download your copy now!;  My personal preference in C++ compilers is Borland C++ Builder. Any personal programming I do is usually done in that. The down side is a lot of code is released as MSVC, so it takes a little work to port it to Borland.  ;  I use Visual c++ it is a good compiler.James Bond  ;  Here are my views. I use MSVC++ to code but that is just a circumstance. If you code as a hobby, what I recommend that is the closest to VC++ but is free is LCC-WIN32. It''s the closest you can find to VC++ and it''s totally free. If you search in Yahoo or any search engine, you''ll find it and I have to say that it is great. I also use Borland C++ if I have the change but for the game I''m working on, we agreed that VC++ was what we would use as all the other coders have VC++ and not Borland C++. Be on the lookout though as Borland C++ will become a good competitor and Corel will make sure of it as Corel is now the Owner of Borland & Inprise. These are my views.CyberdrekHeadhunter SoftDLC MultimediaTwo Guys Soft   ;  -[Edited by - Saruman on January 1, 2007 3:33:49 AM];  Yes, Visual C++ has the coolest IDE...  ;  Thanks for your input all  ;  I use VC++ 6, but I have an old Borland C++ compiler I use for making DOS programs (I only use it for testing... ).
