What IDE is your choice for C/C++ project?

[BBar2]

I can second the CLion option. It's nice to have something that works so well across Linux, Windows, and Mac.

I know the feeling. I have had to use it for quite a long time. It generally works but it can be a real PITA to actually get it to do what you need/want it to do. Probably the best experience was using it to develop an application on Xilinx's ZYNQ platform. In that case there was a preconfigured custom variant of Eclipse made by Xilinx that worked "out of the box". There are some other versions like that from various chip manufacturers but the quality varies a lot. If you have to set things up all by yourself it soon becomes a nightmare and good luck using Google to find an answer to the problems you run in to. If you can find something there are probably dozens of conflicting solutions.

A model 029 keypunch or a model 33 teletype

I wrote my first program and ran it via a teleType using hand-punched 8-hole paper tape.

I'll have to add myself to the VS bandwagon. I have been using it since v1.0 with the NT beta and it keeps getting better although a few versions were a bit iffy. It's been pretty good since 2015 I think. The thing is, I haven't anything else even close. I tried Eclipse for some embedded development and I went back to Notepad++ and command-line batch files. It's come to the point that unless it is absolutely required I am not going to even try anything else. I can't see how the learning curve could possibly be worth it because I am very productive with VS.

You can also duplicate a window in Visual Studio through the "Window -> New Window" commands, and drag the second copy to its own window in order to see two copies of the same file at once, but it doesn't sound as nice as Brief.

KDevelop or QtCreator

[stephen hazel]

qtcreator now that i think windows10 is dieing and dieing fast.

[StarNamer work]

VSCode, but only because the only C/C++ I write is for the Arduino and similar microcontroller and Visual Studio doesn't support PlatformIO as far as I am aware.

[rjmoses]

For me, it's a toss-up between VSCode and Qt Creator. Have tried many others, like Codelite, and they all came up a little short. I've been using QT Creator longer, so I lean that way a little more.

You fancy-boys and your EDLIN. Real men, women, and those of blended gender use TECO[^].

Huh. You actually need an entire farm of them? I edit my replacement microkernel for Windows 10 using a single paraplegic double-amputee lunar moth.

I used Qt Creator 3-4 years back. The editing was pretty nice, but the build system had some holes in it. I had to do complete rebuilds every time I changed a resource, as the build didn't consider that significant :wtf: .

[afigegoznaet]

Isn't the build system external to QtCreator?

[OldDBA]

There are some tasks for which I still use TECO.

[Gary R Wheeler]

It might have been. Like all open source tools, there's a certain amount of DIY associated with it. I would have expected, however, that it built it's own native projects correctly out-of-the-box. That was not the case when I used it.

:omg: Are you running one of the versions for MS-DOS/Windows, or do you have an actual DEC machine?

I guess you're talking about qmake. Well, there's a reason why they decided to move on to cmake.

[rkl_alx]

For me is Qt Creator, although Visual Studio 2017 is also quite good. I found that Qt Creator works very well with big projects. Visual Studio 2017 is also quite good, specially with the option of building remotely.

Now one of the dos/Windows versions. I first learned TECO on a PDP 10 in 1972 when my company moved from IBM to DEC. I used it professionally in TOPS-10, TOPS-20, RSX, and VMS. I now have Windows and Linux systems at home. If I could get a VMS system at a reasonable price I'd probably do so though more to get EVE/TPU than anything. Have been watching the group porting VMS to x86 with interest, but waiting to see what they offer to non-commercial users. Right now it looks like they offer a free limited-time license (alpha emulation) but you have to backup everything before it expires and re-download and re-install/restore. I'm not sure I want the hassle, though I loved working in that environment.
