["nightmare" - all the more reason to use a good ide, then...]
they are the first and third most popular languages, according to tiobe - http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index....
even if that is somewhat wrong - say, that they are actually second and fourth - it's still incredible that the best / most popular commercial ide (i buy and use each release) doesn't support them. http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-86304 http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-86304
- cageface 14y agoI don't buy the TIOBE numbers. But actually their AppCode IDE supports plain C quite well and C++ before the new standard and they say they intend to improve their C++11 support. Maybe this will eventually find its way into their other IDEs.
- andrewcooke 14y agoah, thanks - i will try appcode.
- cageface 14y agoIt might not be too useful to you unless you're doing iOS development but it does show that Jetbrains can implement decent C/C++ support if they think it's worth their time. However, I don't expect their C++ support to ever be as good as that of an IDE like XCode that actually embeds a real C++ compiler frontend (Clang) in the IDE. I think that's really the only way to deal with a language as pathologically complex as C++.
