RE: [Dev-C++] A question of professionalism

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

Ok then you probably have no problem with VC++. I learned C there myself
too. Of course GCC is also professional. GCC is not 100% ANSI C++ compliant
too. One other professional C/C++ compiler is Borland C++. It is 100% ANSI C
1989 and 100% ANSI C++ compliant. Also the compiler is free for download
from Borland. I like that compiler.


In summary:

Visual C++: 100% ANSI C1989 compliant, not fully ANSI C++ compliant.
GCC: the same (but more ANSI C++ compliant).
Borland C++: 100% ANSI C 1989 and 100% ANSI C++ compliant.


I hope this helps. Also this is my personal opinion.

  The class was an advanced C class.
