Which compiler or IDE?

Lecture 1 - Slide 10 : 34

You are supposed to choose your C++ compiler and/or IDE today

Selection mode:
- Either write C++ program in an environment you already know
- Or try something new
Possibilities
- Netbeans (with MinGW option)
- Eclipse
- Visual Studio
  - Commercial version
  - Free version - Express
- CodeBlocks
- GNU's g++ compiler and your favorite text editor
- Others as well

For the purposes of this course (spring 2015) I use g++ version 4.9.2 via Cygwin on Windows with GNU Emacs

C++11 support via a compiler option -std=c++11. Experimental C++14 support via -std=c++14
