Good IDE for C/C++

[Schizoid Man]

Hi,

Can I use Eclipse for C or C++? Or is it specifically optimized to work with
Java (in terms of keyword highlighting, syntax, etc)?

Thanks,
Schiz

I have never used Eclipse. For C/C++, Anjuta is really good.

If you will be using any debugger separately, then vi improved is
enough for keyword highlighting, syntax etc.

vijay.

I'd have to second the comments made by Vijay. I've got Anjuta and Code
Warrior for my Linux box (I purchased Code Warrior before I heard of
Anjuta), but now that I've got Anjuta I would install and use it any day.

Hi,

Can I use Eclipse for C or C++? Yes, with CDT. But just for Gcc, and ... (beurk)

Yes, it is.
Syntax highlighting is not a great problem.
But debugger support is.

I use Borland's C++BuilderX (same IDE than JBuilder, coded in Java).
I improved it for asm programing.
Very attractive for Windows & Linux

BUT !!!!:

Dead before birth.
Half-open ;-)

It's a pity....

I like too UltraEdit32 with GNU makefiles. But it is not an IDE.

Bloodshed's Dev-CPP is also a good environment.

Sorry to tell you, but this is completely off-topic in comp.lang.c.
This group is about the language C, not about IDEs. The question you
asked is probably much better suited for a group or other forum
that deals with Eclipse as its main topic - clc isn't one of them.

I have to disagree.

If I am in a c language group, I think the way I

enter c code
or
read c code
or
format c code

is certainly on topic.

How best to use the language is certainly as on topic
as the language specifications.

If you will take a look at the question asked I guess you will find that
it won't even fit if your rather loose definition of what would be on-
topic here - it's about if a certain program called "Eclipse" is suitable
for whatever he wants to do with C and C++ code. But here (for a number
of good reasons) even discussions about how C compilers are to be used
is off-topic because clc is about the C language itself, which is a wide
enough topic on it's own, and not tools to be used in conjunction with C
(or e.g. external libraries, just because they were written in C or have
a C interface). There's a difference between the discussion about say
cars and the repairing of Thin Lizzy vintage cars made 1935. There are
enough things to be said about cars as such that you don't have to mix
this with discussions about certain models (unless you want to make the
group useless for its intended purpose) - that's better suited for a
groups taking a special interest into that, which isn't shared by every-
one interested in discussions about cars.

I have to disagree.

Think of it like this: to answer the question about does it help to be an
expert in

1. The standard C programming language

2. Eclipse.

comp.lang.c is where you'll find expertise in 1. but not 2. except by
accident.
If I am in a c language group, I think the way I

enter c code
There are lots of editors and IDEs out there that could be used to develop
C code. Having them on topic here mean that most articles would be
irrelevant to most people. There are newsgroup far better targetted at
that sort of thing.
or
read c code
There is this odd discussion about this sort of topic, e.g. how to read
declarations.
or
format c code
There is some discussion about this too, although it is rather subjective
and rarely very constructive. At the moment it seems to be more about how
Google deformats C code when posting.
is certainly on topic.

How best to use the language is certainly as on topic as the language
specifications.

"How best to use the language" is about how to use the
constructs in it, not how to use a text editor or IDE.
