Out of curiosity, am I the only one to think that ".cpp" screams "C preprocessor" and not "C++".

Which is why normal people use ".cc" instead of ".cpp" :)

We can't name our files ".c++c" now, can we? [grin]

Most of the time I give C++ source files the ".C" extension, or even ".c++". I only ever use ".cc" or ".cxx" (or ".cpp" if I have no choice) when I have to port to Windows.


Hope this helps.

Is there any C/C++ programs in linux that has the same capacity as Visual C++. I mean, so I can program, compile and run the program in the same program, so I not have to do/change makefiles and so on.

I often use gedit with the Shell Command plugin. But I doubt it's what you're looking for.

As for not having to "do" makefiles, you're probably out of luck. Consider taking the plunge and learning how to use them, it's actually not all that hard.

Emacs. [grin]

Seriously though, I actually use emacs, and even though you don't have all the fancy class view widgets and stuff that you have in VS, (I used Visual Studio .NET 2003 before), it works brilliantly. It's just a simple editor! And if you're afraid of makefiles, (I can understand you, they're quite ugly), there are plenty of alternative build systems which seek to replace makefiles with simpler systems. Scons is a good example.

As for KDevelop, I haven't actually tried it myself. But I have been very curious about it. I meant to try it, but I just love working in emacs, so I decided not to. It looks very impressive, though.

Unix is an IDE

Emacs .... It's just a simple editor!

I would hardly use the word simple and Emacs in the same sentence. XEmacs is a bit better, but there still so many unintuitive (to me at least) key bindings. It is highly extensible though, how many text editors let you play adventure or solitaire (or a number of other games), can be used as an email and usenet reader, etc.

On a side note I half expected to hear that the HURD kernel would be powered by emacs[wink]

Anyways, my actual point is that emacs can work wonders, but it's not necessarily the best tool for someone new to the unix/linux world.

Personally, I'd say avoid KDevelop if you can. It's the pits imho, I prefer to compile with gcc on the command line. It saves so much hassle.

That should be fun :

KDevelop user : presses F8

You :
gcc -c foo.cpp
gcc -c bar.cpp
...
gcc *.o -o foobar

First take this flame retardent, or shall I say flame RETARD suit, you will need it.

Posted by a true.... RETARD! Man... I use vim to develop my software, and I don't get any of that kdevelop cruft (which i used to love and adore until I saw the light). No one types out each complier command. Have you ever heard of Make? I personally use Scons which is even better. So when I want to compile I can type "scons" or if I am in vim I can type ":make" after setting it to use scons. Then it will jump the the lines with errors and such.

When I want to run my program just do it... man.

Get off your one world view mr know it all. We are not a bunch of retards using the command line wasting effort being error prone and typing each command by it self. User your damn brain!

BTW, for all you non believers, vim supports most features of modern IDE's from code completion like you would not believe, to class browsing/function indexting, to source code higlighting, to code indetation, to tying your shoe, to screwing your mom. Vim is like the dark side of the source. Never underestimate the dark side.

Dude, it may look nice, but trust me... stick to your emacs. Leave kdevelop for the script kiddies... Now for your fancy class browser, you may want to look into ctags. It enables you to use emacs for class browsing in a more emacs way. Then you can tell all those IDE using lusers to suck your huge emacs balls as you browse over their mother's classes with your m@s+3r 1337 text editor.

And don't call emacs a simple editor... it is just a text editor at heart, but it is by no means simple...

Not to sound rude or anything, but have you recently switched to *NIX? You sound like these people who switched 2 hours ago and need to tell the world how l33t they are and how lame the rest of the world is. I agree that Emacs and Vi(m) are vastly superior tools once you master them, but there are nicer ways to put it than calling IDE users "lusers" and "script kiddies".

I wouldn't call ctags a class browser by any account. It merely indexes ("tags") "things" in your code (not just classes) into a file. If your editor provides support for ctags (emacs and vi(m) do), you can then search the index and find an instance of the search pattern.

I'd recommend that people who use GNU Emacs and need "IDE features" look at http://sourceforge.net/projects/oo-browser/ and particularly at http://cedet.sourceforge.net/. It isn't Visual Studio, but if what you want is VS, use VS.


Hope this helps.

Nah... I have been using linux since like 2001 or something (around the time rh7.2 came out, although I did not use it). I run it exclusively, except for when I want to play a windows game (rare). As for the rest of my post, I am just screwing around... it was late when I posted that... And it's fun to troll. :)
