There are IDEs out there that will do exactly the same thing for you for your C code.
- chadzawistowski 14y agoThe difficulty of writing static analysis software does depend on the language, though. In Visual Studio, for example, intellisense and autocompletion are vastly superior in C# compared to C++. As a matter of interest, which C IDEs are you referring to? I'd like to check them out.
- octopus 14y agoTry Xcode 4.5.x (wich uses Clang as the default C compiler). VS2012 has similar capabilities for C++.
- chadzawistowski 14y agoVS2012 is actually the IDE I was thinking of when I said VS C++ support is inferior to C#'s. While there is intellisense, it does not display any documentation. The closest thing it offers is variable names for a method's arguments.
- guard-of-terra 14y agoIn fact Eclipse features a special compiler that builds your code immediately and also allows IDE to highlight your errors better than any static analysis would. So actually it kind of does. Assuming compiler IS the language.
