What is the diffrence betwen c++ visual and other names?

I use bloodshed dev c++ and c





is one better than another? please explain.

What is the diffrence betwen c++ visual and other names?
Minor differences really.


Microsoft Visual C++, dev C++ are both IDEs (Integrated Development Environments) bundled with C++ compilers. The compilers work differently and produce different machine code. The IDEs themselves provide you with tools to help you write and debug your code. I've also used The GNU C++ compiler, which is part of GCC (the GNU Compiler Collection), which is just that, a compiler. It also works a bit different.





I've noticed differences in as to what needs to be declared on each compiler, MSVC++ is looser on some declares, dev C++ is less forgiving. GCC is the least forgiving of them all (and it is the one i use the most, since i work under Linux, plus it is my compiler of choice, as it creates very neat machine code and can cross compile with minor tweaks).
Reply:Well i never used bloodshed dev C++, so i can't be sure.


I only used Visual Studio, so i like the feel of it, and using it is fun. the difference between bloodshed dev C++ should be the user interface, compiling method, maybe ease of use, but most definetly, price. Microsoft is greedy and tends to over charge for its products. The two can't really be compared. it's like comparing a grape with a pinapple. both are good, both are fruits, but other than that they got nothing in common. Truth of the matter is people buy what they can afford, and use that untill it becomes obsolete. i know i used Visual Studio 5 till Visual Studio .NET came out lol. and that is QUITE SOME TIME. :D
