There are several good C++ compilers for Windows 10. Which one works best with Geany? Thank you!
Geany works fine with mingw32. I have not tried any other. I suppose it would also well with the various mingw-w64 compilers out there.
But since win10 now has a linux subsystem I have a mind to try and install Geany in Ubuntu or OpenSuse because under Linux you can take advantage of the virtual terminal. You can install a win10 X-server and use that for to display linux GUI programs. I suppose you could also take advantage of the linux g++ compiler and use it to build linux executables or use it to cross-compile windows executables. My command line programs run just fine in the Linux subsystem. Depends on what you want to use the compiler for, of course.

I have been using the linux subsystem in Win 10 with geany and xming. It works great!

The only error I get is when first invoking geany (in Win 10 Linux subsystem)
(geany:5406): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap",
but it doesn't appear to cause problems; it isn't "fatal"...

While you shouldn't get that warning because all the needed stuff should be included in the installer, the only effect should be to make Geany look ugly instead of fake-native-windows appearance.
As others mentioned you should be OK using just about any compiler. The only issue I can think of is that if you don't use a GCC-style compiler like GCC, Clang or (maybe?) ICC, it may not be able to parse the diagnostic messages out-of-the box. If you were to use something like MSVC++, you likely would have to customize the "error regular expression" so it can properly parse the diagnostic messages.

Sorry mixed up who I was replying to.

Do you mean works best to compile geany? Or to build your own programs from source that were edited using geany? Since the build command is customizable in the "set build commands" menu, I think all should work fine. The important distinguishing factor might be linking to libraries perhaps, but if you can compile from command line that should also be easy to set. Or if you create a Makefile then anything goes! Which compilers are you considering?
