Hi! Well, I don't know if I understand exactly what you mean. So, lets begin: Dev-C++ is an IDE. It uses GCC, the GNU C Compiler (or today: GNU Compiler Collection) for compiling C/C++ programs. The GCC project started a looong time ago: nearly 15-20 years ago. The compiler itself is a very good one, and supports many architectures (I know, you'll be interested in only one anyway). But Dev-C++ has nothing to do with the compiler: it just uses it, and gives us (programmers) an interface for ease of use. Many-many (really countless) projects use GCC for compiling, and with success. So I think you should stay. Of course, there are ALWAYS bugs. But the most bugs are in M$ products, GCC has WAAAAAAAAAAAY fewer than them :) GCC has very few bugs, and most of them are not even related to this architecture, where you want to use it. So, I say: stay :) BTW: what kind of errors/bugs have YOU encountered so far? -- Greetings, Balázs |
