What platform are you using and what platform do you want to build for?

Borland. I've been using it for the last two decades and it never failed me. Don't fall for these faggots recommending gcc or clang.

GCC or Clang. They're the most complete and up to date.

GNU's C compiler is more complete in features but Clang has a far cleaner internal design. This means that it's easier to develop Clang than it is to develop GCC.

As if a beginner would need a "more complete in features" C++ compiler anyways.

And clang has friendlier error reporting.

Yeah I'd take clang over g++ for a beginner any day of the week solely because of the error reporting.

Clang is still kinda iffy if you're not on OS X though.
