By | February 8, 2023

Here are some of the best C compilers:

  1. GCC (GNU Compiler Collection):
    GCC is one of the most popular and widely used compilers for C and other programming languages. It is an open-source compiler and supports multiple platforms including Windows, Linux, and macOS.
  2. Clang:
    Clang is an open-source compiler that is developed by the LLVM project. It is known for its fast compile times and modern features. Clang is also used as the default compiler for Apple’s macOS and iOS operating systems.
  3. Microsoft Visual C++:
    Microsoft Visual C++ is a commercial compiler that is widely used for developing Windows applications. It is part of the Visual Studio development environment and provides an integrated development environment (IDE) with advanced debugging and profiling tools.
  4. Turbo C++:
    Turbo C++ is an old but popular compiler that was widely used in the 1990s. It is still used by some users for its simplicity and ease of use, although it has limited support for modern C features and does not run on recent versions of Windows.

These are some of the most widely used compilers, but the choice of compiler depends on your specific needs and requirements.
