[Dev-C++] MINGW parameter options

[Ioannis V. <no...@ho...>]

I had sent a reply with screenshots to Bob Wilson's email concerning
MINGW, but it never arrived at me through the list (perhaps the list
doesn't allow attachments of some size).
 
Anyway the summary is:
 
MINGW which is GCC port for Windows is very highly ANSI/ISO standards
conformant, more than many commercial compilers. Also GCC is highly
professional with myriad optimisation options. You can set anything
through additional switches in Dev-C++ Compiler options.
 
 
For strict ANSI/ISO C/C++ conformance place the options:
 
-ansi -pedantic
 
 
To see all the available compiler switches, and assuming Dev-C++ to be
installed in c:\dev-c++, give the following command from the command
prompt:
 
\dev-c++\bin\g++ -v --help |more
 
 
and add the switches you like in Dev-C++.
 
 
The default switches accompanied with -ansi -pedantic for strict ANSI
conformance should be enough for most cases though.
