starting C++
#21
Quote:gcc certainly isnt the best. At least it aint better than msvc.

Gcc doesn't produce the fastest code by a long shot, compilers creating by the chip manufactures (Intel and AMD both have super fast optimising compilers for their chips) do this. Gcc's strengths are that it is highly extensible, portable and open source. MSVC's biggest weakness is that it produces code for only one operating system line and a very limited number of architectures.

I havent compared output code size and executable speed between gcc and msvc, so I cant comment on that, however I personally use gcc because I am more interested in portablility of code and its open source nature than in ultra fast executables.
