What is best compiler for c++??

Question

Answer 1

Clang is a really popular choice as is g++. Bear in mind that Visual Studio may be hanging because it's compiling which can take a while for some programs.

Answer 2

Depends on the platform, and depends what you call 'best' (ease of use, support of latest standards etc) For efficiency it is usually best to go with the compiler from the hardware (processor/architecture) vendor.
