   stackoverflow.com › questions › 8029092

   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 For instance, import libs are still mandatory (for outdated historical reasons), unlike Mingw-w64 where they're completely optional. 16.

   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.

   MinGW is just one port of GCC to Windows, it's not the only port. Another good compiler is Clang, which is part of LLVM. It has better Windows support than GCC does these days, because it can link to code compiled using MSVC. This is important if you're using third-party libraries. 2.

   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 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:

   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

   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 :)

   Does MinGW support mutex & threads?

   • Let's put like this: We are going to create a library that needs to be cross platform and we choose GCC as compiler, it works awesomely on Linux and we need to compile it on Windows and we have the MinGW to do the work. MinGW tries to implement a native way to compile C++ on Windows but it doesn't support some features like mutex and threads.

   LLVM-based compilers are amongst the fastest compilers in the test. Zapcc was designed to provide a speed advantage over Clang. The slowest compiler in the test is the PGI compiler. At 2750 seconds of compile time, PGC++ takes 5.4x longer to compile our test case than Zapcc.
