Re: C/C++ - How do you develop?

I use Visual Studio Code or Nano to edit code, along with CMake for Makefile generation or Meson. I use tmux sometimes if I'm only using the command line and not Gnome.

Re: C/C++ - How do you develop?

Neovim with my custom config and some plugins:
- vim-airline/vim-airline (probably just aesthetics)
- neomake/neomake (build my code in vim without hogging the interface)
- luochen1990/rainbow (highligths matching parenthesis, brackets and braces in matching colours so it is easier to see which belong together)
- vim-scripts/a.vim (Open the right header for the current source file and vice-versa)
- will133/vim-dirdiff (Open two directories in vim and see which files were changed in which ways)
- mox-mox/vim-starlite (my own: add the word under the cursor to the current search)
- mox-mox/vim-localsearch (my own: have different search terms for every vim-window)
- mox-mox/vim-autohighlight (highlight the word under the cursor WITHOUT searching for it)
- I don't use any code completion plugins. Usually I find them more annoying than just typing the stuff myself.
- When working remote I run a terminal buffer in my vim instance so I can copy-paste between the terminal and the text files.

CMake
- I really hate it
- It has become standard, many projects will need it anyways (there used to be scons but it seems to be dead usage-wise)
- I do not know a better tool (Plain Makefiles are nice but tend be become quite bloated for serious projects, Using autotools just puts you into a deeper circle in hell)

Git
- Nearly all my code is in some or another git repo.
- Very handy when switching machines.
- Also very handy to check what I have actually changed in the last few hours.
- Commit messages force me to think about WHY I changed/added stuff to the code

I had never been a fan of completion but about 6 months ago I installed YouCompleteMe (YCM) as a one line addition to my vim plugin manager (I use vim-plug). I have not invested any more time in installing or configuring it other than that one line (well ok, I soon set g:ycm_autoclose_preview_window_after_completion=1). I work mainly in Python, C, C++, JS, and shell scripts and in all those I now get completions presented. I can't see how anyhow would think it annoying. They pop up and I usually think, yes that was what I was about to type so I just press tab to save some typing. Sometimes I may just ignore the popup. It works great, saves some time, shows a small definition preview, and costs me nothing. I haven't tried any others but YCM is worthwhile.

Obligatory "ED! ED! ED IS THE STANDARD!!!

"TEXT EDITOR."

Something I've recently started pointing out to ed advocates:

Not only is `ed` useless bloat, it is also *not the Unix way* when you could compose separate tools like cat, dd, heredocs and shell redirection.

Or there's always: https://xkcd.com/378/

Re: C/C++ - How do you develop?

Years ago I was using Sun's developer tools on my Solaris maschine.
Today these tools are all owned by Oracle, but still around: https://www.oracle.com/tools/developerstudio/index.html
The page says something about development for oracle systems, but of course one can just develop under linux any program (as I currently do).

It's never too late to use Solaris.

It was about eight years ago that it became too late

Re: C/C++ - How do you develop?

I'm perfectly fine with the non-Oracle flavors of Solaris.
(illumos is lovely.)
