Incredibly windy here in the UK too.   I've seen a couple of bins blown over already.   Oh the humanity. Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.   Shed Petition[^]

that must have been the system that went through here last night. Beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder   Be careful which toes you step on today, they might be connected to the foot that kicks your butt tomorrow.   You can't scare me, I have children.

QuestionVariety of C++ compilers.memberMatthew Faithfull30 Jan '13 - 0:35 
I'm interested to know what the range and popularity of different C++ compilers and linked IDEs is amongst my fellow CPians. My guess is that there are really good stats for this buried away somewhere in Bob's sock draw from numerous surveys over the past few years. It would be nice if someone...

GeneralRe: Variety of C++ compilers.memberMatthew Faithfull30 Jan '13 - 1:02 
Thanks, that is indeed a useful list. However if your cross compiler supporting project already had Visual Studio, VC++ and Eclipse/MinGW/GCC support where would you go next? "The secret of happiness is freedom, and the secret of freedom, courage." Thucydides (B.C. 460-400)

What are you trying to do exactly, see what other platforms you can compile to or create a C++ project that is compatible with most IDEs? Web - BM - RSS - Math - LinkedIn
GeneralRe: Variety of C++ compilers.memberMatthew Faithfull30 Jan '13 - 1:27 
To be specific I'm writing a set of libraries to enable common code to be built with many different compilers in many different IDEs as part of a larger project. The technical side is challenging but if I need help with that I'll post to the appropriate forum. What would be of real value to me...
GeneralRe: Variety of C++ compilers.memberpatbob31 Jan '13 - 5:28 
I'm using VC++ a la VS 2008, when I use it these days (which is never). I've used a bit of gcc for Linux, but which flavor depended on which version came native with whatever version of Linux I was on at the time.   However, about this portability framework. I've always found it wasn't...
GeneralRe: Variety of C++ compilers.memberMatthew Faithfull31 Jan '13 - 6:00 
I agree, compilers is just the first stage, hence why they need a -nodefaultlibs equivalent to qualify for inclusion. Once the compiler is tamed, the correct hardware architecture is targetted and the OS system calls have been drilled into submission, then come the libraries which is where the...
AnswerRe: Variety of C++ compilers.memberNemanja Trifunovic30 Jan '13 - 2:18 
There are many compilers out there, but in practice you typically need to worry about a single compiler vendor per platform: for Windows - MSVC++, Linux - GNU C++, Solaris - Oracle Sun CC, etc. utf8-cpp
GeneralRe: Variety of C++ compilers.memberMike Diack30 Jan '13 - 2:43 
For what it's worth, I'm using (day to day):   VC++6. VC++2003 VC++2010   Hiware V5 (1999!) Cross compilers for embedded work. GCC (version 3.45 I think) for embedded work.
GeneralRe: Variety of C++ compilers.memberMatthew Faithfull30 Jan '13 - 3:53 
Thanks Mike that's exactly the sort of feedback I was hoping for. I don't think I'll be taking on Hiware V5 but I might just look it up for the sake of interest. "The secret of happiness is freedom, and the secret of freedom, courage." Thucydides (B.C. 460-400)
AnswerRe: Variety of C++ compilers.memberBassam Abdul-Baki30 Jan '13 - 3:22 
Now that you've reminded me, I had to download Code::Blocks to see if I can compile (without running) some AIX C++ code on a Windows machine. So far, not so good. Web - BM - RSS - Math - LinkedIn
GeneralRe: Variety of C++ compilers.memberMatthew Faithfull30 Jan '13 - 3:57 
That sounds like exactly the sort of thing CompilerQOR would be useful for. If it's worth something to you I could take a look. Not that you heard this from me but Microsoft 'allegedly' rippped off chunks of the AIX C library to build their own so the two are not as far apart as they might be....

My use of C++ was limited to a firm that used Borland Builder for windows development as the software dept (one guy) didn't trust Microsoft and yet he used Outlook Express. Having used the Borland Turbo compilers (DOS) I found it a jolt (my previous job I was using VB6 for some scary stuff!). I...
GeneralRe: Variety of C++ compilers.memberMatthew Faithfull30 Jan '13 - 5:04 
Thanks for the encouragement. It's nice to come accross someone else who started out with Borland Turbo compilers. I still have a copy of v0.99 for DOS on a VM somewhere, template classes in 1993, that was cool stuff "The secret of happiness is freedom, and the secret of freedom, courage." ...
GeneralRe: Variety of C++ compilers.memberglennPattonWork30 Jan '13 - 5:18 
The thing I think is odd being an Embedded guy really is the ammount of problems there with all the different commpilers. C++ like C was supposed to be a standard it works on my PC it should work on yours. There are now so many subsets of C / C++ it got silly. VC6 was plain hard to use, Borland...
