Does the different compilers really make a difference ???

Question

Since there are many compilers out there, does the code from one compiler will be different from the other ???
What would you recommend as a compiler for a experienced programmer ???

Answer 1

Older compilers may support legacy code and non-standard practices, which result in non-portable codes. Even older compilers would compile codes which won't even work with new ones, hence it is important to stay up to date.

Answer 2

Yes it does. Compilers have to assemble your code into machine code. This can be done many different ways. Some compilers are smarter and more efficient compared to others
