Every now and then people come to forums asking about good C and C++ compilers and IDE's to use because they have been using old *crappy* compilers which they were forced to use due to their course in some school/college/university.
So, today I thought of creating a list of all the compilers/IDE's I know of which are free to download with my five favourites(marked in red).
Here is the list
1) Code::Blocks
2) VC++2005 Express Edition
3) MinGW
4) Intel C++ -linux only
5) GNU GCC
6) Digital Mars C++
7) Bloodshed DEV C++
8) Cygwin C++
9) Sun Studio
10) Apple C++
11) Borland C++
12) DJGPP
13) Open Watcom C/C++
14) Pelles C- Compiler based on LCC
15) LCC-Win32

That's an exhaustive list, but shouldn't this thread be in the C++ Forums and not the Tutorials section?

Direct links given in the post gives a very good explanation about respective compilers. I think list is enough and people won't mind clicking on the links...or will they?

Don't forget the Eclipse IDE.
There's even an "Easy Eclipse" distribution specifically for use with C++:
EasyEclipse for C and C++
I use Easy Eclipse CDT with MinGW at work and at home, and on Windows and Linux.

10) Apple C++
Is probably better named as:
Mac OS X Xcode
(it's capable of a lot more than just C++)

VC++ 2005 Express Edition is discontinued.
Therefore, use VC++ 2008 Express Edition!:
Download it here
lol just stating the obvious

Nice List, but why you dont put CodeLite and the classic, but a little bit old Dev-C++.
