Best C Compiler?

Name: Anonymous 2009-11-02 7:46

What is THE BEST (or your favorite) C compiler?

1. gcc (GNU C Compiler)
2. pcc (Portable C Compiler)
3. tcc (Tiny C Compiler)
4. dmc (Digital Mars C compiler)
5. icc (Intel C Compiler)
6. lcc (Local/Little C Compiler)
7. other (please specify)

Explain why it is your favorite or THE BEST or why other choice(s) suck.

I don't understand why people want to use nested functions.

and some reasons that might have to do with why gcc is a mess:
The truth about GCC is that it is a monster of a system. This system is decades old. It has to account for a massive number of different quirks for the different standards, different languages and different architectures. The age of the system together with it's massive scope leads to results that may not be optimal as compared to more focused compilers.
