gcc is fine (e.g. the version that comes with XCode, though it is quite old). If you need more speed then the Intel compiler (icc) is well worth considering; it is excellent and quite affordable for academic use. If you want your code to be portable then you should build it on both.
I second the other nominations for boost, especially boost's shared_ptr which takes away most of the headaches of memory management. Another worthwhile package is Eigen for matrix math. -- Russell On May 11, 12:39 pm, RobS <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm about to get my feet wet in (fall down the black hole towards) C+ > +.
