Frankly speaking, neither one can outperform the other in all cases. In most cases, as long as your code compiles and runs correctly, choice of compiler would become a big matter.

> Hi coders. I ussually develop under UNIX enviroments like Linux & BSD, therefore I always compile my codes with GCC (for ANSI C) and G++ (for C++). Beside that, I know that both ACM compilers run under Windows (MinGW and MSVC++) so I would like to know wich is my best option, assuming the optimization and memory usage. Thanks!
