POCross-platform C++ IDEs?
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm looking for a good IDE for C++ that has most or all of the following properties (well, the first 4 or 5 ones are mandatory):</p> <ol> <li><p>cross-platform (at least Mac, Linux)</p></li> <li><p>of course, syntax highlighting and other basic coding editor functionality</p> <ul> <li><p>reasonably responsive GUI, not too sluggish on mid-size (say, 100 files) projects (both my Linux and Mac computers are 5 years old)</p></li> <li><p>code completion</p></li> <li><p>integration with <code>gdb</code></p></li> <li><p>SVN integration would be nice too </p></li> <li><p>refactoring (rename a variable semi-automatically throughout the codebase, etc.)</p></li> <li><p>can display class hierarchy</p></li> <li><p>can add hypertext-style links to the code (so you can click on a function/class name and it brings you to the declaration), </p></li> <li><p>can show code parts that (potentially) call my function (I know that's hard to do for C++ so I added the <em>potentially</em>)</p></li> </ul></li> </ol> <p>So far, I've been using <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Emacs</a> for everything, but I think advanced features that give me more overview and search capabilities like the last three would be nice. I'm tired of just using <code>grep</code> and <code>find</code> on my codebase. </p> <p>Basically, I want most of the things for C++ development that Java IDEs usually do.</p> <p>I see <a href="http://www.netbeans.org/features/cpp/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Netbeans</a> can be used for C++, as well as <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Eclipse</a>. I think they would fit my requirements. Has anyone actually used them for daily coding? What are the differences? What are your experiences? <a href="http://www.codeblocks.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Code::Blocks</a> is more lightweight and doesn't do many of the things listed above, right?</p> <p>Note: I don't need a GUI builder.</p> <p><strong>Update:</strong> With the bullet point 10 I mean that I can give it a function name (e.g. <code>Foo::setValue</code>), and it shows me all occurrences where this particular function (and not other functions of the same name, like <code>Bar::setValue</code>) is called in my codebase. </p>
