i suspect g++ as good as most proprietary compilers. but since
c++ is so complex and big, and the standard was only recently completed,
there are inevitably much more bugs and other "compiler issues" with
c++ than c. unix people need to worry about about the portability
of their software between different flavours of unix and different
c++ compilers, so these problems are aplified compared to people
working exclusively on m$ or macos. see for example
