   Nov 7, 2011 · MinGW also compiles significantly slower than MSVC (though precompiled headers help a little). Despite all that, GCC/MinGW is an entirely reliable quality compiler, which in my opinion outperforms any to date available version of MSVC in terms of quality of generated code.

   MSVC is fine if you are actually targeting Windows; MSVC is not nearly as bad as some here would have you believe. A fine reason to stick with GCC / Clang is if you really can't be bothered learning how to use Microsoft their tools.

   MinGW because it's the closest to GCC and gives me a good indication of whether or not my code will compile cross-platform without having to wait for the build system. My code has to run on OSX, Linux and Windows. Visual C++ because it often has higher performance with math calculations than MinGW. It's often comparable to GCC on Linux though.

   The default standard library (libstdc++) has better C++20 and C++23 support than Clang's (libc++) but not as good as Visual C++. Developing Windows applications with GCC (mingw-GCC) generally means shipping extra DLLs with your program, for the standard library.

   This paper reports a performance-based comparison of six state-of-the-art C/C++ compilers: AOCC, Clang, G++, Intel C++ compiler, PGC++, and Zapcc. We measure two aspects of the compilers’ performance: The speed of compiled C/C++ code parallelized with OpenMP 4.x directives for multi-threading and vectorization.

   • Cached

   MSVC is doing the compilation job significantly faster than MinGW-w64. The DLL sizes are comparable, if optimization is set to "-O2" for MinGW-w64, with "-O3" the DLLs from MinGW-w64 are larger. Binary files compiled with MinGW-w64 are performing significantly better than those compiled with MSVC.

   Is MinGW better than MSVC?

   • In general they produce binaries of more or less comparable performance. But implementation of c++11 synchronization primitives in mingw, at least up to not so distant past, was much much worse than in msvc (2015). And windows environment is not very friendly for gcc based toolchain that spawns a lot of processes.

   Is GCC better than MSVC?

   • They're not made to be substitutable plugins (although Clang is working on becoming that way). GCC is a fine compiler, and can produce code that has pretty much the same performance, if not better, than MSVC. It is missing some low-level Windows-specific features though.

   Is GCC/MinGW a good compiler?

   What is the difference between G++ and MSVC?

   • G++ is the gnu C++ compiler. It is availible on mac (iirc) and linux and ported to windows as part of MinGW. (minimal gnu for windows). The complementary C compiler is called GCC. "gpp" is presumably some alias for a g++ with certain predefined command line arguments. MSVC is microsofts compiler.

   What is the difference between LLVM and MinGW?

   • LLVM is a project that is a compiler infrastructure on which actual compilers are built, this is used by quite a few languages - the LLVM C compiler is called clang and the C++ one clang++ and those more or less aim to be a drop in replacement for GCC. LLVM also exists on Windows. MingW is a windows port of GCC. MS-cl, Clang-cl, Clang++, g++, gpp.

   Should I use GCC (MinGW) or MSYS2?

   • I would go with gcc (MinGW) or clang. If you combine it with MSyS2, you get nearly a linux-like environment. There is no reason to use MSVC, except you have to. It's a bloated compiler (Like some GBs of installation), not supporting newer C than C99 IIRC, and it is nearly unusable from the commandline

   Aug 29, 2011 · First, MinGW is not a compiler, but an environment, it is bundled with gcc. If you think of using gcc to compile code and have it call the Windows API, it's okay as it's C; but for C++ DLLs generated by MSVC, you might have a harsh wake-up call.
