vc++ is not just an ide, it has its own compiler as well which unfortunately has non standard calling conventions and stuff as well, its called cl.exe. I think it wud be better if we define it as a toolchain for compilation(cl),assembly(masm),linking(i dunno what is used for this :-p).
if u need to use c++ on windows and also learn how these things work exactly, try using the gnu ports of gcc compiler system, u can get these at www.delorie.com.
If its C the lcc-win32 system is also available.
