   Nov 7, 2011 · 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: To get VS to use GCC as a compiler, you'd pretty much need to turn to makefiles or custom build steps all the way.

   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.

   GCC is a compiler. But a functioning build system is a lot more than just the compiler and it all has to be configured for your system. MinGW is a build system using GCC and configured for Windows. TDM64-GCC is also a build system using GCC and configure for Windows. It is based on MinGW but with additional changes.

   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

   Why is GCC not used in Windows?

   • GCC and MSVC use different name mangling conventions for C++. C++ dlls compiled by one compiler can not be used in applications compiled with the other. I believe this is the main reason we don't see more widespread use of gcc in windows. mikerobi: perhaps you don't see widespread use, but please look a bit further.

   Should I use Cygwin or GCC?

   • You can make use of MinGW or Cygwin to write software but introduce extra dependencies ( especially in the case of cygwin ). One not often touted advantage of gcc over cl is that gcc can be used with ccache to drastically speed up rebuilds or distcc to build using several other machines as compiler slaves.
