I just use Linux and there is a compiler included (well you might have to apt-get it first) called gcc. Although if you are using Windows then I guess you can use Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition (but that's a bit huge to download) but i would still recommend Linux for programming, especially "software development".... read more.
Hi!
Well the best and really totally free C, C++ compiler are listed at this link you may even Dowload from there: http://www.simtel.net/category.php?id=49 Regards Akshat 
i suggest you download Dev-C++ (for C and C++), it's a very good and easy to use program and it is totally free (although i haven't found it in the list above).

Site: www.bloodshed.net Well Dev-C++ is awsome ..but its an awsome IDE and not a compiler . Although its bundeled with one. The compiler is MinGW which is a port of GNU C compiler. Mingw can also be downloaded seprately. There is also cygwin gcc. One can use other compilers with Dev-C++. You may also want to check this page it contains the descriptions of various compilers and their links. Some of them are free QUOTE(akshat @ Jun 17 2005, 12:50 AM) Hi! Well the best and really totally free C, C++ compiler are listed at this link you may even Dowload from there: http://www.simtel.net/category.php?id=49 Regards Akshat  I have always tried to refrain from making broad statements such as "the best" of whatever because what might be the best for you is not necessarlly the best for everyone. Having said that, another good place to investigate is http://gcc.gnu.org/ website site. Our group was manadated to only use standard UNIX tools such as VI and to use TROFF and NROFF to publish any and all Engineering notes in our Sun Unix enviornment that I managed. Eventually as we got younger grads, the requested EMACS, etc., we liked ELM for email and the incoming group wanted PINE, at the end, whatever tool enabled you to make your job easier was implemented. When the GNU type of programs came alot of the "older" Unix ppl resented it but at the end even our District Manager had me order all the new C++ progams for WINDOWS so he could program on his laptop. So the best of anything is not static, it changes and alot of times for the best.

The eye of the beholder... I can't really say that I have much experice from differencet C/C++ compilers. Because I've mainly done C for my university stuff I've always had to use gcc and it has kind of stuck. Anyways if not anything else, gcc is a safe choice. QUOTE(bitemytail @ Jun 17 2005, 12:41 PM) Hey! I'm looking for a website where I can download a good working C++ compiler. Even if its not a download site, at least a place to jsut write small programs would be nice. I have no intentions of making anything big; I just like to program in my free time. Also, I'd prefer they are free, but if anyone else is looking, they may not mind paying. Alright, Thanks! One good open source compiler that I found useful was DJGPP. It is a 32-bit C/C++ compiler. It gives a robust output, and since it is a 32-bit (Protected mode)compiler, one is not restricted with the 64kB data memory limit that one would get with Real Mode compiers. But you would need to download the source code of the compiler and build it - if I remember it right. Since you say you are a beginner, I would say my suggestion would be of use after you do a bit of programming with the help of the posts by others, above. Happy programming, Vyoma
I've tried Dev-C++ from bloodshed.net and it's excellent for beginners and of course advanced users. It's package repository has a good collection of libraries you maybe interested in using, although some of these packages maybe out of date. This would be what I would choose if I were starting out.
Cheers, MC
Apart from MingW compiler, the Digital Mars Compiler has the reputation of being the fastest Windows compiler. Unlike MingW which is a windows extension of gcc, Digital Mars is totally for Windows, and hence performs much much better in speed and reliability terms.
I dont know whether it can hooked up to Dev-C++ IDE but its worth the use. You can do the coding part in a free editor like Vi for windows and then compile from Digital Mars command line. http://www.digitalmars.com Another thing that you might want to try is the Microsoft VC++.NET Compiler which is also completely free and comes with the .NET SDK. After all or windows development VC++ is known to be the best (MFC etc). Latest Entries

I'd go for the dev-C++ too, nice interface and only uses 30 MB or something like that , although incompatable with Visual Studio as it uses the MinGW compiler, worst part is you can have hard time searching for linking libraries ( libxxxx.a )
check whether a particular function belongs to some header file
Looking For A Good C++ Compiler I m making a parser for C programs which writes all the functions of the program which are not defined ie functions with no signature.The compiler will show errors for these function calls. So for that I wrote a code which seperates out all the functions which are called and all the functions with signatures and writes these two in two seperate files 'file1.Txt' & 'file2.Txt'.Now I look for those entries in file1 for which there is no entry in file2.These are the functions which are not defined by the user but they can be there in the header files included.So my question is that how do I ckeck for their definitions or prototypes in the header files. -question by ginni_gemini
It depends on what are your purposes:
Are you going to develop for windows only? or are you going to take a broader range of OS's? MS Visual C++ is probably the best windows-only compiler, but it is a bit different of the other "general" compilers, like gcc. It has a good IDE though, and even a RAD solution with MFC and now also CLR... However, if you are more like me, and you prefer to write cross-platform apps, then you should consider GCC (for windows its MinGW). Ofc, here it's all about pure C++ (and without RAD -> wouldnt be crossplatform otherwise)... If you are going for Crossplatform RAD, it'd be a good idea to combine an app made with Lazarus (delphi lang, only for the interface of your app) with an external library (C++ lang, providing you all your c++ freedom). Hope this was some use for you... 
Personally I use Dev-Shed C++. It is OK but has some bugs for example you need to run all the files from My Documents rather then just pressing run (that buttom seems to not work). I could never figure out the debug but I dont need it anyway. I needed to download some extra things for it to work with my programs but other then that I would need to say it is fairly good.
I have only used the trial verson of Visual C++ by Microsoft but I think this is a good compiler also. I didn't need to download extra things and it ran file without me going in and opening them manually. I know it has some handy settings (though I didn't use them) but I have found some good C++ tutorials aimed directly to the Visuall C++. The only error I ever came up with was while assigning bool variables. They are case-sensitive on Visuall C++. Hope this helps, Sparkx
