C++ compiler

Looking for a C++ compiler that I can carry around with me on a thumb-drive so I can code anywhere. Should be able to use on windows without having to install extra things.
Recommendations?

I saw that one, but does it compile C++? It looks like it only does C.

Aah, I somehow missed the "++". I don't know if it does handle C++, but it would surprise me if it did...

A search for portable C++ compilers keeps leading me to Orwell DEV C++ Portable, have you tried this one yet?

pocketcpp seems to be another viable option.

sounds like a job for Eclipse and Mingw?
or maybe DevCpp

Mingw and eclipse are awesome if you don't mind not having the latest gcc. They are always more than a few versions behind. Also comes with Fortran and Ada if you want that aerospace job lol.

You could also install Linux on your flash drive and install a more recent gcc depending on the distro. I used to do this until fedora started using gnome 3. What the fuck were they thinking? That PC's should use tablet operating systems lol?

What's the difference between different versions of the compiler?
Is it something that someone that has barely ever touched C++ should be concerned with? lol

Features from the upcoming c++ draft standard are slowly being implemented by vendors. To get these features you must use latest version of any c++ compiler. Last I used mingw g++ I still had to write shared_array<object<int> > instead of shared_array<object<int>>. If you are fussy about latest features I wouldn't use mingw.

...spacing matters in certain place?
lol I thought it was just python that was crazy about white-space.

Yeah, ambiguity between bitwise right shift operator >> and nested template argument template<int x = 5 >> 2>. Standard has now said for years the extra space is not required but only latest gcc has this. But other than the lack of latest features mingw is awesome.

You could switch to COBOL, everyone loves COBOL
