C++ compilers

[miru990207]

I'm not sure this is the best place to ask such a question, but what are your favorite compilers and what would you recommend for newbie’s?

CodeBlocks follows C++11 standard
Eclipse
NetBeans
Dev C++

All these are great and free.

Beware of DevC++. There is a very old version out there - don't use it. Instead, if you want to try it, go for the Orwell version which does support C++11,

I recommend g++ (GCC, MinGW on Windows). It's a powerful compiler, great when writing programs for multiple platforms, and it's free software.

code blocks just code blocks

Xcode if you're on a Mac. As for Windows, Code blocks works just fine. I've heard about Visual Studio, but I was never able to run it properly, due to it always saying I needed some updates. Even after I took the updates, it still wouldn't run.
