After having played with Dec-C++ for a few days, here is what I see: The IDE that Dev-C++ is so good that I should probably never use Emacs for programming any more. It (Dev-C++) is so much better than MVC++6. So the only problem (as far as I and probably many other people are concerned) is the lack of a decent debugger. I do not know how difficult it is to write a MVC++6 style debugger but that debugger is excellent. Now I just thought: The Watcom sources should be be free by now; so wouldn't it be possible to look at that code and learn how they implemented their debugger (which almost paralleled the MVC++ debugger) and write your own debugger. Taken the genuine devotion of the Dev-C++ team (othwewise they could not have created such a nice product) it would be only a question of until they woul produce even a better debugger. Is this suggestion completely stupid? Is any work being done on a debugger vor Dev-C++? (As for the quality of the compiler, for most applications it is not that decisive.) At the moment I use Dev-C++ and for the tricky parts MVC++6. Anyway, thx for this great product. -- EG |
