Since you did not specify a platform, I can only point you to gcc.

GCC is the free compiler out there. Actually, it is better than some commercial compilers. On Windows you can use it with the Bloodshed interface and on Linux the KDevelop interface (all free!).

What do you mean by platform? Like Windows, Linux, or something like that? If so Windows

That still won't change the answer

Grab gcc-mingw32 off the mingw.org website.

Or the cygwin suite (with which you can get gcc 3.2 both in MinGW (win32) mode and in Cygwin (unix) mode) - though you'll have to select the packages you want ... there is a LOT of stuff in Cygwin (perl, python, latex, XFree86 ...)

Or look for Bloodshed's packaged IDE+gcc somewhere (I don't know the address). The compiler may be out-of-date, but you can upgrade through MinGW.

Dev-C++ is the way to go

look for the dev-c++ resource site, download and have fun.

You can also use the free borland command line tools (check out borland.com)

I would agree with Andrew, go with borland. It is more ansi compliant.
I would go with Dev-C++. It can compile Windows code and has a decent IDE.

You can get it here http://sourceforge.net/projects/dev-cpp/
