Is not an easy task, and you can be sure that it canīt be done using
fixed algorithms... but all compilers let their own signature in the
executables, such as:

Library functions
Calling conventions
Functions calling overhead
Standard entry-point routines
Executable secions naming
RTTI info
Runtime libraries
And many more...

his task involves a huge database with lots of compiler info, and a
good heuristic engine for fast and reliable scanning.

You can have a look on this tiny program to analise PE-File header
structure and try to recognize most (old) win32 compilers.
