I have got a free compiler called "lcc-win32" (or "wedit"?). It look like a really nice program, but I can´t understand how to code c++ with it. Every time I try to use the keyword "class" I get this error strings in the output window:

Does somebody write C++ code with this compiler? Thanks, Zeblar Nagrim, Lord of Chaos

Hi there!

I have never used that compiler but there is a similar problem in Visual C++.

If your files end with a .c like "main.c" the compiler will automaticly use c. If you use the .cpp extension it will alow cpp styff. It''s at least true for the Boolean data type...

I always thought LCC was only an ANSI C compiler but I could be wrong. I have the source code for it and it appears that the lexer/parser doesn't recognize the class keyword.

You probably want the GCC compiler unless I'm mistaken.

Yes, Lcc-win32 is only a C compiler, it cannot compile C++ things.....

if u need a free C++ compiler, try Dev-C++ !!

Thank you guys for the info! I will now download and try Dev C and GCC...

First of all, gcc can only do C code also. G++ can do C++ code. Seconly, DevC++ is an IDE for MingW, which can do C++ (you can also use it for Cygwin). If you don''t like any of those, remember to try Borland C++ 5.5 (the command line version is free). You can download VIDE to use as an IDE.

The acronym was changed to refer to a whole group of compilers, not just C. I think it was something like "GNU Compiler Collection."

i may be wrong, but i think LCC is Linux only and does only compile C.

GNU GCC

Ok, I stand corrected about gcc. I was refering to the actual executable, but I didn''t know the meant the acronym to span multiple compilers .
