Fastest code
Author
I was wondering which compiler compiled the fastest code:
Microsoft Visual C++,
Borland C++ Builder,
or Watcom.
Are there any other compilers that you think compile faster code?
From these compilers, VC++ 6.0 will generate the fastest code.
By now the fastest compiler is the Intel C/C++ Compiler 4.0.

The fastest most optimizing compiler in the world is the one between your ears. (quoted from Michael Abrash, co-author of the quake engine, in his book "Graphics Programming Black Book")
The Intel compilers are probably the best with Visual C++ 6.0 coming in a close second.

The Intel compiler is faster even in Windows?! Damn! I need to get it! I''m still using Visual C++ 4.0. I bet that''s the slowest compiler you can get.
To my knowledge the only way to get it is to buy Intel''s VTune package. It''s about $430. Go to www.intel.com/vtune to see what it''s all about.
Actually you can download a demo version of the compiler from the Intel''s site.
The demo version is full functional.

btw, from what I''ve heard, you can plug the Intel compiler into Visual C++, so you still get VC++''s excellent IDE. Pretty cool, IMO.
