Integrated Development Environment

They have all the tools integrated
− Editor
− Compiler
− Debugger
− [Publisher]
− [Documentaries ]

4. Famous IDEs


Metrowerks CodeWarrior

KDeveloper

5. Famous Compiler + Debugger


6. Know your Compiler

Use the most of your compiler

Be Aware of compiler specific syntax, which is not supported by
ANSI/ISO C
− Example:

Microsoft C/C++ 8 : [ defining an array trough cli ]
• int *rint[,] = new int *[10, 10];

gcc:
•long long
• <?= and >?=

7. Microsoft Visual Studio 2005

It’s from Microsoft.

Uses Microsoft .net C/C++ compiler

Based on .net 2

Also support other language [ basic, J#, C#, Pascal! … ]

Too expensive! But first class IDE.

Complete suite [ compiler, framework, Editor, Debugger,
Publisher, MSDN, etc.]

Compiler command:
− cl main.c
− cl /c main.c

8. Dev-CPP

Free-OpenSource-GCC base [ included ]

Compatible with gcc & gdb

For windows!

CVS support

9. Eclipse

Sponsored by IBM

IDE for Java ( mostly )/ Cpp/ Python/ GWT …

For both Windows and Linux

10. TurboC / C++Builder

Made by Borland

Small & Easy but inefficient

For DOS, altough it runs under windows too.

The borland company was bought by Microsoft,
nowadays a new version of C++Builder has been
released.

11. Linux/Unix Environment

The programmer’s heaven!

Birthplace of GCC.

KDeveloper!

Emacs [ just Editor + gdb ]

VIM [ just Editor + make ]
