Visual C++?

I was wondering what the most common (professionally) tool for compiling C++ is... What i mean is, when I get into the higher-up stuff for college what program will most likely be used to compile C/C++?

Also, will Visual C++ have the same speed (as in the result application) as something compiled in Dev-C++ or another compiler?

Thanks for your time ^_^.

Re: Visual C++?

There isn't such a thing as the "most common" compiler. If you learn one, you can figure out another of the same category (command line or GUI) with little trouble.

No. Different compilers optimize in different ways and use different translations from source to machine code.

I used to think the same thing, so you're most definitely not alone. I used to think that all the command line compiling I saw was the traditional, 'correct' way to program. You know, the dos> or *nix screen you always saw in movies. :pretty:

Heh heh! I thought the same thing. Personally, I think that command prompt is the only way to use a computer (it makes other people think you are cool ... or geeky).

One of my friends was using the command prompt at school once just to do some random thing like open some random program... And the teacher thought he was like hacking the whole computer and stuff... xD.

Re: Visual C++?

Be aware that dev-c++ and visual c++ are integrated development environments, not compilers. dev c++ uses GCC as its compiler, visual c++ uses msvc. Other IDE's may support multiple compilers such as Code::blocks.

I used to compile my code in command prompt using visual c++ sdk,because i think it waste too much resource to build a single program in the IDE. And it's very cool to type the command:rolleyes:.

Yeah, I use command prompt too to compile projects, particually my assembly projects. I only use the IDE compiler tools to compile my JAVA and VB.NET projects, mostly because I need the results as fast as possible for College.
