All links provided target x86-64. Compiler Explorer links target C++20. Wandbox links target c++2b. All
GCC and clang links use the following commandline options: -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -pedantic-errors -Werror=pedantic -O0
All links select a particular compiler version instead of “trunk/head/latest” so that the exact compiler version is clear in conversations.
All links configure the compiler to report most warnings, but none asks the compiler to treat warnings as errors. This choice is made so that the distinction between errors and warnings remains apparent. However, it is important to treat every warning as an error, and ignore warnings only consciously.
All links explicitly disable optimization so that the exact effect of the source code is evident and can be compared against the standard, as well as easily compare different compilers, without interference from optimization.
Compiler Explorer does not support execution for MSVC. Please review the status of this issue and let us know if the situation has changed so we can update the compiler link above.
Many other online compiler services are available (see a list), but most have limitations with respect to compiler version, language standard, and other factors. However, no matter which online service you use, make sure it uses a relatively new version of the compiler. Also make sure the service supports at least C++17 (preferably C++20) and that you set the service to use the appropriate C++ standard version.
