My current collection of C/C++ compilers are:
> GCC
> Borland C++
> Digital Mars C++
> Open Watcom C/C++
> Tiny C Compiler
What other compilers can I add to my collection? What does your C/C++ compiler collection look like?

You could add MSVC, ICC, Clang

you don't ever need more than clang, maybe gcc

i successfully tried TCC, though it produced quite big binaries (compared to CLANG's), that is concerning. if it was somehow justified/tuned i would use TCC instead of CLANG's, because kinda less glow and single source of dictator truth.

MSVC bad, no VLAs. GCC has GNU word. so, little options. C++/Rust not serious, for complexity retardation, non-collectable. EUtards should invest into TCC if they want strong base (independent from US tech).

chibicc, by far the simplest yet standard compliant C compiler

For Both TCC and Plan 9 compilers (nonoptimizing, few passes) the expectation is that you keep your code simple and hand optimize if you need to.
You don't just take your spaghetti normal codebase and expect it to work. Of course on an arbitrary code base GCC/Clang would fit your use case better.
