   Nov 7, 2011 · GCC works and can be used with any IDE other than Visual Studio. Even Visual Studio Code can use GCC. Code::Blocks, Eclipse IDE for C/C++ developers, CLion, Notepad++ and even the good ol' tool we've always known, Notepad works with GCC. And finally, on a PC with low disk space, installing Visual Studio's "Desktop Development with C++" is ...

   MSVC code generation quality is almost on par with GCC and Clang. It doesn't quite support C99 and probably never will. The toolchain is not nearly as powerful or flexible as Mingw-w64. For instance, import libs are still mandatory (for outdated historical reasons), unlike Mingw-w64 where they're completely optional. 16.

   Visual C++ because it often has higher performance with math calculations than MinGW. It's often comparable to GCC on Linux though. Visual C++ debugs better on Windows too. CMake because building and packing source code for people who are not software developers/programmers is a lot easier if you can standardise.

   MinGW/GCC has much better standards compliance than msvc. In my experience, for my tasks, it also produces faster smaller binaries. But really despite using msvc is often a better choice on windows because so many library authors refuse to ship source code and ship precompiled msvc binaries.

   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.

   Jul 25, 2024 · clang also generates native Windows code. You can even set clang to automatically target Windows and expect the Windows SDK by running `clang-cl`. You of course will need a Windows SDK and MSVC C/C++ runtime mounted on a case-insensitive filesystem, like the Firefox guys have done [1].

   Can I use Visual Studio compiler with MinGW & Visual Studio?

   • If you have any info on this, thanks! Visual studio compiler is (or will be soon) available as a command line standalone application. So you can use any ide and compile with both compilers anyways. Personally I use eclipse and write code that compiles both with mingw and visual studio via cmake :)

   Is GCC/MinGW a good compiler?

   • 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. This is somewhat less pronounced with the most recent versions of MSVC, but still visible.

   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

   Should C++ be used with Visual Studio?

   • To be honest, C++ should be handled with MS Visual Studio. If you want to make cross-platform or Unix apps, use GCC. GCC works and can be used with any IDE other than Visual Studio. Even Visual Studio Code can use GCC.

   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. Apart from this, to answer your questions:

   Apr 22, 2016 · 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. I have tried to use link-time optimization with MinGW-w64, but I have failed.
