I'm taking a class in which I'm required to write some C++ apps for Linux. I really, really dislike the dev tools available under Linux, but I love VS2010.
Is there any sort of compiler switch which will enforce ANSI or gcc compatibility in VC++? Or can I swap the compiler out for gcc and still use the VS environment?
In Visual Studio You can set compiler options for each project in its Visual Studio Property Pages dialog box. In the left pane, select Configuration Properties, C/C++ and then choose the compiler option category.
Select the Configuration Properties > C/C++ > Language property page. In C++ Language Standard (or for C, C Language Standard), choose the language standard to support from the dropdown control, then choose OK or Apply to save your changes.
_MSC_VER Defined as an integer literal that encodes the major and minor number elements of the compiler's version number. The major number is the first element of the period-delimited version number and the minor number is the second element. For example, if the version number of the Microsoft C/C++ compiler is 17.00.
The compiler now supports the /std:c++20 compiler mode. Previously, C++20 features were available only in /std:c++latest mode in Visual Studio 2019. Features that originally required /std:c++latest mode now work in /std:c++20 mode or later in the latest versions of Visual Studio.
You can disable Microsoft extensions to the ANSI C and ANSI C++ standards by specifying the /Za
flag, which will make the compiler emit errors if you use non-standard C and C++ features.

However, this doesn't preclude you from using platform specific headers.
This blog post seems to discuss something similar to what you're after.
I can't seem to find better info than this MSDN document regarding VS2010 ANSI compatibility.
Some alternatives to VS2010 include MonoDevelop - which supports C#, VB.Net, C/C++.
There's also Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Dev.
