How well does code blocks support plain C
« on: August 31, 2006 »
Hi Guys,

Im aware that DevCPP is getting old and unsupported. I'm thinking of downloading and swapping to code blocks but I'd like to know if it supports plain old C well first. Any comments/experience?

I don't know anything about code blocks.  A lot of people I know are trying the free edition of Microsoft Visual Studio Express for C++.

Never tried Code::Blocks, but VC2005EE is very good too. I think you should try it out.

Or, you might like to try Digital Mars' C compiler...

I should be more clear, I dont want to change compiler, only IDE. I guess I'll try code blocks.

Try Eclipse, with the CDT plug-in.

Sorry to appear a thicko, is Code Blocks an IDE? And are you asking if it's compatible with programming C with?

:-) its almost certainly me thats being thicko or assuming too much about what people psychically know about my question.

I use gcc for intros and I'm happy with it. I use DevCPP as my IDE and I'm not happy with that. So I'd like another IDE I can use instead of DevCPP. I heard code::blocks was the way to go but I didnt know eclipse had got decent C support. Eclipse seems to be *the* IDE of choice these days so I'll look in that direction. I'll post experiences as I'm sure it'll help others around.

Thanks for the advice everyone.
