What's the most featured most compliant with the standard C/C++ compiler (not ide)?
GCC
Intel
OpenWatcom
VC++
Borland C++
???
SiCrane is probably right, since to my knowledge it's the only one that implements the `export' keyword (allow separate declarations and definitions for templates).
I use gcc and I am not aware of any other departures from the standard. I think recent versions of VC++ have decent compliance too.

For gcc, the only other departure from the standard that I know of in recent versions (4.2+) that is not considered a bug is an obscure case involving destruction order of objects with static storage duration on platforms that don't support __cxa_atexit() involving dynamic libraries.

I agree that Comeau is the only fully compliant, but don't all EDG compilers (including Intel) support 'export'?
Which standard?
Anyway, if we are talking C99 there is only 2 maybe 3 that fully C99 compliant and GCC is not one of them:
GCC, despite its extensive C99 support, is still not a completely compliant implementation; several key features are missing or do not work correctly.[6]
According to Sun Microsystems, Sun Studio (which is freely downloadable) now supports the full C99 standard.[7]
<a/>
Intel claims C99 compliance in it's latest release notes for it's compiler but I haven't tested it personally?

I think we are talking about 2003 version of C++98.

I don't believe so. I've heard that you can use the EDG front end to create a compiler that doesn't support export. At least one academic compiler I've read about is done that way, but I haven't used it myself. The only EDG front end compiler I've personally used is the Comeau compiler, so I can't say for certain.

Intel also supports export.
Visual C++ still slacks in a few areas (such as throw specifications), but it's pretty close.
