Embarcadero Dev-C++
Embarcadero Dev-C++ is a free Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for programming in C and C++, developed as a continuation of the Bloodshed Dev-C++ and Orwell Dev-C++ projects. It offers a comprehensive set of tools for coding, compiling, debugging, and profiling, making it well-suited for C/C++ development on Windows. The IDE utilizes the MinGW or TDM-GCC versions of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), and can also work with other GCC-based compilers like Cygwin.
Key Features of Embarcadero Dev-C++:
- Comprehensive Development Tools:
Dev-C++ includes a project manager, syntax-highlighting editor, class browser, and code completion features, all designed to streamline the development process. - Support for Multiple Compilers:
The IDE works with GCC-based compilers, including the built-in MinGW and TDM-GCC options, and can be configured to use others like Cygwin. - Built-in Debugging and Profiling:
Developers can debug their programs using the integrated GDB debugger and analyze performance with GPROF profiling tools. - Project Type Versatility:
Dev-C++ allows users to create various types of projects, such as Windows GUI apps, console applications, static libraries, and dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). - Additional Features:
It also includes customizable syntax highlighting, code insight tools, function lists, AStyle code formatter support, and templates for setting up custom project types.
