C/C++ comparision

[Dinghou Jin]

Dear all,

Could somebody tell me the major difference of the default compiler in HP-UX, AIX and Solaris OS? And which is the best.

Thanks a lot,
Dinghou

Hi Dinghou,

I really cannot which of the mentioned HW vendors produces/ships *the* best compiler.
But I think it goes without saying that the compiler native to a certain platform should produce the most efficient binaries on its own platform, and excel those produced by a cross-platform compiler.

However, most times it's simply a matter of availability which forces you to rely on e.g. GNUs' gcc (as in my case).
