The choice of compiler for a beginner is almost completely irrelevant, so long as it's recent. MinGW is not a compiler. It is a set of tools. It does contain a compiler. The compiler that comes with it is fine. | |

Standard conformance is one important issue, and a recent offering would be clearly better in that respect. A compiler that gives clear and expressive diagnostic messages (that are easy for beginners to understand) would greatly aid the learning process. AFAIK, clang with its libc++ is ahead of the rest of the pack on both counts. Though the latest offerings from both GNU and Microsoft would provide reasonable alternatives. | |
