    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:

    That's the whole point. C++ is more powerfull if you optimize it. The compilers for C++ have way more optimizing options, since they can do stuff different on machinecode level. C# has to rely on the optimisations of the IL JIT compiler. Its funny to see that C# can be faster ;P Although the comparison is a little off, because of the difference in optimizations used.

      gcc is not exactly known for the speed of its code. try MSVC or Intel.

      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)

              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

                          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
