compilers

[genux]

Which one is best ???

I use g++ for c++ stuff..
mono for c#
zend for php

anyone else use anything else and would recommend a different one.. I
use linux as my main OS so things like MS c++ compiler would not
really help.

I am interested in software development and like to have a fuller
knowledge if possible of different aspects of things like this and
just find the whole thing interesting.. I was watching Linus talk
about starting the linux kernel, when he said that back in those days
you could write a standard device driver since there was only 1-2 out
there and about 2 items on the PC.. but now.. to start writing a new
kernel would be a massive task..

I just find coding and learning interesting .

The one you know and like, especially if it does what you need it to do.

Things like what? Figuring out what compiler is the best?

Define best?
- Works on your interested platform.
- Dollar cost of buying the compiler.
- Available documentation.
- Active development team to fix compiler bugs and remain standards
compliant.
- Is standards compliant.
- Compiles quickly.
- Produces good quality output executables.
- Quality of diagnostics, and fine control over which diagnostics are
warnings, errors, or silent.
- Comes with a "print out used files" option ala gcc -M. (That Sun's
javac does not amazes me to this day.)
