Speed Test 2: Comparing C++ Compilers On WIndows

[sl4shd0t]

Nerval's Lobster writes "In a previous posting, developer and programmer Jeff Cogswell compared a few C++ compilers on Linux. Now he's going to perform a similar set of tests for Windows. "Like all things Windows, it can get costly doing C++ development in this environment," he writes. "However, there are a couple notable exceptions" such as free and open-source cygwin, mingW, Express Versions of Visual Studio, and Embacardero. He also matched up the Intel C++ Compiler, Microsoft C++ Compiler, and the Embarcadero C++ 6.70 Compiler. He found some interesting things — for example, Intel's compiler is pretty fast, but its annoying habit of occasionally "calling home" to check licensing information kept throwing off the rests. Read on to see how the compilers matched up in his testing." http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Speed+Test+2%3A+Comparing+C%2B%2B+Comp ilers+On+WIndows%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F1bSwWNB) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Ftech.slashdot.org%2Fstor y%2F13%2F11%2F26%2F1632213%2Fspeed-test-2-comparing-c-compilers-on-windows%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfac ebook) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://tech.slashdot.org/story/13/11/26/1632213/speed-test-2-comparing-c-compilers-on-windows?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
