What is a good C++ compiler to use?

Does anyone know a place where I could get a good C++ compiler download for free, without having to fill out all of that user crap like email and age and all that survey junk. I want to be able to program at home, and I can't find a good one to use that doesn't require all that junk.

What is a good C++ compiler to use?
There's two decent C++ compilers to work with.





The first is gcc. gcc is a compiler on linux that also works on other systems. The windows version goes under the name MinGW. You'll see people recommending Dev-C++, Code::Blocks, etc., but they are IDEs that use MinGW for a compiler.





The second compiler you can pick is Microsoft Visual C++. Actually, the full edition costs money, but you can get a free express edition. If you're targeting Windows specific programming and applications like Windows games, you may want to pick the Visual C++ compiler instead.





Borland has a free version, but it has registration crud.
Reply:sorry i dont have a specific site for you but a good one to use is DEVSHED i downloaded and didnt have to fill anything out
Reply:The GNU Compiler Collection includes a C++ compiler. If you use Windows you can get it as part of Cygwin ( http://www.cygwin.com ), otherwise you probably have it already (on your install media if not installed already).
