Differences Between Commercial Compilers And Free Compilers

What are the differences ???

[raf]

The price probably. And probably also the other terms like if you are permitted to use them in commercial product you develop.
Lott of firms/organisations supply the both (commercial and free version) with different usability terms. Like 'you are allowed to use the free version in personal application, but if you wan't to include our product in a commercially distributed product yu develop, then you need to buy a licence ...'

Well, free compilers usually are command line ones that only accept code as input and outputs object files and links them, but with stuff like Visual C++ it can easily create stuff like classes for you, when you are using a function a parameter list comes up, it has a step through debugger that lets you see what the values of memory is. There is easy nav bars to go to places quickly. The best thing about it I think is the debugger as it can really help you solve complex runtime errors.
