The three compilers that are competing to keep up with C++ standards
development are:

- Clang/LLVM. Essentially mandatory on Apple and Android, available for
many other platforms. IBM are adopting it to replace their own C/C++
compilers. 

- GCC. The usual Linux compiler, available for many other platforms. 

- Microsoft. Only available for Windows. 

Oracle have pretty much stopped developing Sun's compilers. HP's
proprietary compilers have stopped development. MIPSpro is dead. Green
Hills confine themselves to the embedded market AFAICS.
