fastest c/c++ compilers

In your opinion, how would you compare the speed of the programs produced by the MSVC, GCC and ICC C/C++ compilers?

Correct.  In C, character constants are of type int.  This was changed in C++ so you could do shit like this (although printf is still superior):


void f(int x) {
    std::cout << x << '\n';
}
