Favorite C++ Compiler

[linux4life88]

I've used Geany and like it, I was just wondering what other C++ compilers are out there for Linux.

I think you mean IDE.

There is a lengthy thread in this forum on IDE's. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=6762

No, I mean what I said, C++ compiler. I've seen some IDE's without compilers, such as Anjuta. I want programs, IDE's, that include compilers for C++ built in, like Geany or like DevC++ for Windows.

Geany, like the vast majority of Linux IDEs, uses the GCC compiler (specifically, g++ when it comes to C++).

And FWIW, the DevC++ IDE uses the MinGW compiler which is a Windows port of GCC.

Bloodshed Dev-C++ is a full-featured Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for the C/C++ programming language. It uses Mingw port of GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) as it's compiler. Dev-C++ can also be used in combination with Cygwin or any other GCC based compiler.

They are IDEs, they doesnt have "built-in" a compiler inside them.

They have built-in support for a compiler, because they are IDEs.

Your 2 examples are IDEs, and Im sure if I search the home page of them, you will find that definition.

Geany uses G++, DevC++ for Windows AND Linux uses G++.

Geany doesn't have a compiler "built in", nor does DevC++.

In other words, all (most?) IDE's on Linux use g++.

All C++ IDE's. Depending on the IDE, you can change what is used.

tcc is an alternative to gcc, and is better in some ways.

For one, tcc is an interpreter also.
