a good C++ editor

[filox]

can anyone recommend any good editors for C++ (having in mind that i don't
want to use MS visual studio)? you know, something that has syntax
highlighting, and preferably something like intellisense (to complete your
code)? i've decided to switch from compiling in Visual studio to gcc and now
i need to find a good editor...

Get gcc via CygWin for Win32.

Write a Makefile for your project, in the same folder as your .sln file.

Write a trigger (in a soft language like Ruby) that runs the Makefile to
compile your code and run your tests, after each .cpp file changes.

Start the trigger, and start Visual Studio. Tile the windows so you can see
the trigger's console.

Now edit, and even compile with your .sln file, and each time you change the
code, your trigger will build it for gcc.

Oh, dude, "7-Course Beef" in Westminster sure takes me back!

Try Eclipse with the C++ plugin.
You can get both at www.eclipse.org

Last I tried (when am I going to actually uninstall all the things that
have accumulated?) Eclipse was slow and difficult and generally bad,
just like expected of a Java thingo, although probably a heaven for Java
programmers.

For C++ programming many people have recommended Code::Blocks, <url:
http://www.codeblocks. org/>, touted as "the" through and through C++
successor to DevC++ (which ironically, IIRC, was written in Borland Pascal).

Disclaimer: I haven't tried it, but it sure looks good.

I'd recommend you Netbeans.

Netbeans is a Java IDE; its last release includes a C/C++ pack that
allows you edit, debug and work with makefiles using this interesting
IDE.

That's "GCC" ( the GNU Compiler Collection, which includes gcc and g++
compilers). :-}

Maybe someone who has both could come back and tell us if Code::Blocks plays
nice with DevC++. [ Dev-C++ IDE: http://www.bloodshed.net/ ]
Ref: Code::Blocks for windows:
Does it 'capture' the file-type-associations(al low to keep current settings),
easy to point it to the current MinGW(GCC) under DevC++ dir, mess with
windows registry, etc.?
[ meantime, yeah, I'll go look over their site. ]

I'm pretty happy with DevC++, so it will take an 'eye-grabber' to get me to
change (C++ source code *is* a big plus. GNU port is another+.). I don't like
to burn bridges (or DevC++ <G>), some 'installers' are over aggressive.
I use MinGW Studio on Debian, but it's a little 'thin' ( and Kdevelop is way
'thick'! "GAWD, all I wanted is a little 3 file project linked to wxWidgets!
What the heck are all those script things for!?!". Kpollution? <G>).

PSPad, an editor not an IDE: http://www.pspad.com/en/

Good luck,

This project looks very promising. Unfortunately it seems to have
slowed down.

Personally, I love vim (http://www.vim.org/). Once you learn your way
around it, you'll realize how powerful of an editor it is and how fast
you can do things, but the learning curve may be a little steep. It may
take some time to get used to using a modal editor.
