I was wondering if anyone knew of a good c and/or c++ IDE. I am trying to see if there is anything better or just as good as the Microsoft studio one.

Re: C/C++ help needed.
I like eclipse for java, but for C/C++/C# I have heard the general consensus was that MS Visual Studio was the best.
If you have a valid .edu email address, MS can give you a CRAZY discount. If your affiliated with the MSDNAA at your college, I think you can get it for free. I can get VS 2008/2010 x86 as well as the team foundation server, from my school for free

For my college, I had to be enrolled in an approved MIS/CIS course to be eligible for MSDNAA.

Re: C/C++ help needed.
visual studio, make sure your university does not provide MSDN subscription access or MSDNAA (if it does, it likely includes visual studios), i say this specifically, because most of the time if you just ask around your university for visual studios, people do not know MSDN subscription provides it. So ask explicitly if you're provided msdn access (microsoft developer network subcription) or MSDNAA (academic MSDN subscription).
if your really desperate you could try eclipse. But its a POS. Builds are a pain (you have to manually write make and target files, rather than auto generating and editing). I got a lot of screwy shit with eclipse too, like crashing/unable-to-open source files sometimes, the stupid editor tap would crash, restarting eclipse would fix it sometimes... i mean come on, the ONE fucking thing the IDE is designed to do, it failed at! And its built on java evident by eclipses failure at handling internal IDE errors.
But nothing beats the debugging capabilities of MVS, period. If you've got large projects (500+ header and source files), dont screw around with chump shit roll with MVS, and save up if you have to, its worth it (you wont need ultimate though), esp if you have a .edu address, ms will give you a giant discount.
But dont waste your time on other IDE's, you'll pay the price in time spent debugging c/c++ code with shitty debuggers.
let me know if you get it, ill make and post a list of all the extensions i use. Save uber amounts of time, generate classes with litterally 2 words per class/member/function definitions, so you can write the outline for a class in under 30 seconds. etc.Last edited by Bunni; 05-09-11 at 09:01 PM.

ya i was trying to get eclipse running but im not having such good luck.
The one thing about MVS is i feel like i download a bunch of stuff I don't really use in the first place.

Re: C/C++ help needed.
I used Visual Studio 2008 for my classes this last semester. It was awesome. Not only does it do C# and C and C++ you can also build full websites in it complete with style sheets and command pages. Drag and drop options to boot. I have VS2010 that I downloaded and burned to DVD from MSDNAA with my own serial key for future use but I am fine using 2008 for now. Luckily my work has a site license for staff to use VS so I can save my academic copy for home.
