    I tried cl /O2 /EHsc sieve.cpp It compiled without any message but crashed right away... Now, if C++ is so much more powerfull, why do I need an optimized compiler? :doh:

    you have one in C#, which is an optimizing compiler, just different concept. If you want to compare non-optimizing C++ to optimized C# and claim a definite win, you really need to rethink.

      Nope, it's only slower than C#, that is a great selling point! :laugh:

        Wrong! You should test both program on your computer! because my computer is probably much slower than yours! otherwise you compare my C# version on my PC to you C++ version on your PC. well, all the C++ coder seems afraid to see the truth I could see... ;P

          I tried to make a C++ project with VS... Obviously I'm not used to.. It doesn't recognize 'vector' :sigh: could anyone do the test? :sigh: (otherwise I could believe you are afraid to see C++ be beaten)

              In case you don't know how to compile C# let's at least compare the computer's spec. I have and AMD Semprom 2800+ 1.61 GHz

                                      From the top of my head:

                                      #include <iostream>
                                      using namespace std;

                                      int main()
                                      {
                                      double sum = 0.;
                                      for (unsigned i = 0; i < 0xffffffU; ++i) {
                                      char buffer[1024];
                                      for (int j = 0; j < 1024; ++j)
                                      sum += buffer[j];
                                      }
                                      cout << sum;
                                      }

                                        I just looked at your specs... you realize that the 2800+ is the relative performance compared to an Intel right? My AMD is only 1.8ghz and runs faster than this one at work. I don't have any of my fast computers at the moment. :)

                                          I tried cl /O2 /EHsc sieve.cpp It compiled without any message but crashed right away... Now, if C++ is so much more powerfull, why do I need an optimized compiler? :doh:

                                          You obviously have no clue as to the difference between what a compiler is and what a language is.
