If gcc is so bad, can one use a different compiler on, say, an FC6 box? I'm not computer expert, but I'd like the programs that I do compile to at least run as best they could.
There is a multitude of commercial compilers. Last time I heard, Intel's was considered the best or close to the best (it's their code that made Microsoft's compiler so good). thefreecountry.com lists a few free C/C++ compilers, including a free version of the Intel compiler for Linux (for non-commercial use), in http://www.thefreecountry.com/compilers/cpp.shtml --Amos
