[comp.lang.c] Best C Compiler

ss746724@longs.LANCE.ColoState.EDU (Steven W. Smith) (10/24/90)

I need some suggestions for a C Compiler on a PC system. 
What is the best one for such a system, has the fewest bugs, works well,
fast etc. i.e. should I get brand A or brand B?
 Any information would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks

Heh heh.

A long summary of the PC compiler wars can be found in the
comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc pseudo-archives on math.princeton.edu
in the directory pub/rjc/csip as the file compilers.Z.

Email access to these archives can be obtained by reading the
Frequently Asked Questions file in comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc.
(I'm getting tired of typing it in over and over again.)

Followups have been redirected into the comp.sys.ibm.pc.* realm,
where this question probably belonged in the first place.
