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.

GCC produces poor quality code. The compiler also claims "standards compliance," which is fine because the standard is fairly weak, but it sucks dick at behaving like you'd expect and/or supporting some features you'd expect it to support.

Intel's compiler is the best one on that list, but there needs to be a decent free-as-in-speech alternative. GCC is not a decent alternative. There are projects in the works, but they're not any better due to their maturity.

Also, I happen to love Theo. He calls it like it is.
