If you don't like the primordial ooze you could use

Speaking of skills I had once learned, I find myself coding in C++ again for the Beaglebone Black. While it's a nostalgic experience, I really, really, don't miss it. It's as if someone were to give me back my first car in the same condition it was in when I gave it away. Functional, does the job, etc., but old and clunky. Oh, and have I said before how I loathe Eclipse? Indeed I have. Unfortunately, the Eclipse IDE just adds to the annoyance of working in C++. For $350, this[^] is becoming more and more attractive.

I agree Eclipse does really suck, what little I've done on BBB has been using it and C++. I guess that one reason I haven't done a lot with the BBB. As far as C++ I've been writing code encouraging the old embedded C programmers to convert but I tried that 20 some odd years ago at a place I worked and I met resistance at every turn and eventually gave up. Given C or C++ I'll take C++ every time.
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

So then I can ask, "is your compiler 17?" :cool:
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.
You certainly can.

VisualGBD looks interesting...

That would help, but it's also things like writing header files to define the class structure and the a separate cpp file for the implementation. Seems archaic. And then of course, the huge issue -- having to remember to delete objects! Having automated garbage collection is just so nice. Marc

I prefer A well written header file over a single ASP .Net page with 1000+ lines JavaScript and 3500 lines code behind. The header can serve as a directory without all the details not only for the compiler, but even more for the developers. I know that managing your memory is below most people's dignity now. In most cases it turns out that I just have to write 'delete oSomeStuff' instead of 'someStuff.Dispose()'. If that's all. Garbage collectorss make programmers ignorant and wasteful anyway. But if you must, why don't you get yourself a garbage collector for C++?

old and clunky? have you looked at C++11? the language continues to evolve and has some nice updates through the latest standard.

That depends on what you are used to. A lot of my C++ dev friends hate C# syntax.

Check out 7 reasons C++ devs will love the VS 14 CTP by Nish Sivakumar Blog: voidnish.wordpress.com
To be honest here, Nish! Assuming the devs are just getting exposed to both the language at the same time. I'm sure C# attracts more. The simplicity of the language and robust .net framework behind the scene makes C# the preferred choice. Having said that, I truly loved every bit of C++ too. My first so many years of programming were only with C++. And I truly loved working with it. There were no complaints except for those unhumanly STL compiler error "messages". & some wired Syntaxes like the static variable "initialization" in Cpp files to name. I understand it's a language feature, but it's still not intuitive. But once I got into C#, there was no compelling reason for me to try something in C++. And honestly, I never LEARNED C# by reading books or tutorials. One fine day, I simply started coding in C# ;). I find it's one of the most intuitive language. Only when we talk about performance constraints, I might look back at C++. When I say "C++" , I mean the platform-independant , standard , stroustrup's C++. Microsoft's implementation gives me creeps :doh: Anybody wishing to learn C++ through MS implementation, I'm sure would run away. The arrow marks <^>^ pointing all directions makes the code less readable. To read it (Sample below!) like a love letter, you gotta be a bot like NISH! ;P

I was going to comment on that, turns out i'm not the only one who thinks that way :laugh:

To my eyes, that code looks more readable than the template/macro mess that is the stdlib header files on VS.
Well that was a quick n bad example. When you look at a real project, it seriously burns your eyes. But like you said, nothing beats Macros & templates in C++ ^^

I'd suggest you take a look at Code::Blocks. It's my favorite C++ IDE, it's multiplatform and really easy to use.

Unless you're also doing C++ for Android, it looks like the $220 or even $110 versions should do everything you'd need; while being a good bit easier on the wallet.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

Do whatever you may desire with C++,AND THIS is the beauty of the language. Hey C++, I wanna come back to you, but this world is not allowing me to have the comfort, that you give to me. I literally hate this garbage collection concept, be it Java or C#.
