Apr 8, 2013 · c++.exe is a traditional name for the system c++ compiler. g++.exe and gcc.exe are the names for the gcc compilers that compile for the "current system". mingw32-* versions are the names for the compilers that cross-compile to the "mingw" target.
For mingw, you want to download and install MSYS2. Using the builtin terminal, search for gcc pacman -Ss gcc. You can install gcc for "mingw32", "mingw64", or "ucrt64"; I always use "ucrt64" pacman -S ucrt64/mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-gcc.
I do all of my development from Visual Studio using CMake. I can compile using MSVC from windows, gcc10/gcc9 from WSL or clang (can't remember the version) from the FreeBSD box. As of VS 2019 version 16.8 (10NOV20), MSVC is C11/C17 compliant.
In this tutorial, you configure Visual Studio Code to use the GCC C++ compiler (g++) and GDB debugger from mingw-w64 to create programs that run on Windows. After configuring VS Code, you will compile, run, and debug a Hello World program.
-> use MSVC in Visual studio (I'd prefer that since its language support is the most advanced, it is integrated, follows standards and is a bit less aggressive) or MinGW if you really want gcc experience.
Sep 6, 2024 · For GCC/G++/Clang, you can use compiler options -std=c++11, -std=c++14, -std=c++17, -std=c++20, or -std=c++23 (to enable C++11/14/17/20/23 support respectively). If you have GCC 8 or 9, you’ll need to use -std=c++2a for C++20 support instead.

Sep 11, 2020 · This seems like it should be easy to do but after a couple hours of Googling I still can't figure out how to use GCC as the compiler for C++ in Visual Studio. I've installed MinGW and the the gcc packages from the installation manager and set the PATH variable to include "C:\MinGW\bin".
