Exactly. I want the best complier that is compatible with C89.

Well if im "picky picky", then I invite you to go ahead and buy the complier for me and donate to me.

Yet VS 2008's C compiler is different than a standard C compiler.
Like I said, all of the commonly used compilers are equally solid with C89. In my experience gcc is no better or worse in C89 mode than VC in C89 mode. Gcc is a great compiler, and I am not trying to convince you to use VC, but your statements really do suggest either ignorance or emotional attachment to gcc. -Tommy (For Great Justice!) Gunn

It's by far the best compiler/debugger on the market.
All Big Companies have VS 2008 Enterprise licences and nothing else. It's just unbeatable nowadays..

I rather use the VS 2008 complier myself but AFAIK it is NOT standard (eg. it will comply exactly in another IDE/complier/etc).
I dont give a shit about gcc. Also, I rather use gcc, besides the standard, is because the rest of people are using gcc so if there is a problem, it will be a common problem.

It was true a few years ago that VC++ 6.0 was not very standards-compliant compiler. I suspect they got so many complaints about it that M$ decided to make it fully c++ compliant.
The problem with Microsoft compilers is that they do not support POSIX standards. So a lot of code that is written with gcc can not be easily ported to VC++. If portability is important then Code::Blocks with MinGW is probably the better IDE/compiler.

Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

I would suggest using NetBeans IDE. It has an easy to use editor interface and gives you syntax options much like you'd find in Visual Studio. I have found NetBeans to be a great compiler for my C work.
