I'm looking for a free c++ ide with great to perfect code auto completion, and also works on win7.
I've been trying VS Code but the intellisense plugin crashs often and does not work nearly as much as it should when it does.
I just want the same thing as YouCompleteMe for Vim provides (check the gif), but the install process is ass on windows and can't be completed apparently.
No MSVS or linux please (bad font rendering hurts my brain)
How have you setup emacs for c c++ dev Jow Forums?
Easton Harris
irony does not work on windows as far I know. It leads to the same YCM compiling nightmare.
I don't understand how it is so difficult to find a good IDE for c++ in 2018. What are the paid IDEs options then?
Ian Thompson
the same way it does on the gif?
Anthony Cooper
It looks very promising, i'll try that as soo as can.
May I ask how you learned about his IDE?
Carter Edwards
Qt creator. It support plain C or C++ projects, has graphical integration with GDB and autocomplete. It also runs on Windows as well as on Linux.
Elijah Moore
I know one of the devs, so I shill it whenever I get the opportunity. I can't program for shit so I have no idea if it's really all that good or not, but I enjoy reading what people think of it.
Thomas Gonzalez
I prefer Notepad++
Easton Bell
Why don't you just use Vim?
Adam Morales
visual studio doesn't work on win7 ?
Ian Diaz
CLion is free if you're a student
Jayden Clark
Qt Creator CLion Visual Studio
Andrew Ramirez
because the necessary plugins for autocompletion can't compile/install properly on windows.
Angel Turner
Yes, you type the prefix in and it looks for matching identifiers.
Elijah Anderson
Just use Visual Studio dude... I guess you could download geany which is good too but why
William Clark
XCode
Hunter Moore
Why not install the linux subsystem for windows and then enjoy all the benefits?
Lincoln Taylor
Does for me.
John Ortiz
the thing is YCM (and some other plugins too i'm sure) detect and provide you with completion option even when you haven't started to type one letter.
Look at the gif more closely, it detects what class/type the variable is and provides a list of the methods directly.
Matthew Hill
Hey OP, everyone else here is wrong.
CLion by Jetbrains. Just try it. The autocompletion is fucking amazing, and I literally cannot use anything else besides Jetbrains after experiencing it.
Grayson Anderson
10 fucking internets to you man. This is the shit. I would suck your cock right now!
You don't know how long I have been looking for this crossplatform perfect IDE.
Also fuck google and every other nigger for shilling stupid clion etc shit and never ever showing me this.
Hi Microshill How's that Win10 linux shell working out for you?
Christopher Taylor
Visual Studio with Resharper (c++) It's not as good as the one for C# (widely regarded as the best) but it's better than built in intellisense
Jaxon Hernandez
emacs, but unironically
Brody Jackson
Eclipse CDT with vim plugin. Pretty great if you ignore the debugging.
Connor Wright
just look at how slow this faggot types, auto-completing ide's makes you retarded. but you're probably already retarded from the start since you considered using one.
Sebastian Gutierrez
irony does work on windows though
Camden Butler
Glad to hear that, user. I'll be relaying your praise. Beware that it probably has a few bugs still and that it's far from feature complete. From what I hear python scripting is coming soon (though it has been "soon" for quite a while now)
Oh, and please spread the gospel.
Luis Gonzalez
>written in Java that explain why the compiling is so slow.
Elijah Roberts
Why should vim with plugins be unusable?
Blake Brown
I can see it is a little barebone in a few places like adding new .cpp files does not see the CMakeList.txt being updated automatically but frankly it is already miles ahead a lot of other IDEs that you find advised and advertised everywhere.
At least it feels the dev really his shit right.
Jack Cruz
Good actually. You can fuck right on off now linux faggot
Jason Bailey
Qt creator. It works with cmake and autocomplete and UI works great.
Ryder Rogers
use vim/neovim with lsp
Robert Ramirez
Vim is shit because of it's horrendous codebase and the community behind Vim and Neovim is just Vim repackaged as a different pile of shit.
Ayden Reed
code::blocks
Andrew Allen
Visual Studio
Bentley Clark
>I know nothing about computers: the post Java isn't slow.
Sebastian Cox
>I have to defend it even though I'm fucking dead wrong Go ahead and compare the time to compile a simple helloworld with any other IDE and please don't come back.
Levi King
That looks so easy-modo tier, it reminds me of when I programmed in java with netbeans. Has anyone answered OP's question? I'm interested as well.
Grayson Walker
I don't actually program, just edit config files and maybe add Bash aliases but this thread made me think that it would actually be practical if Vim would autocomplete the other end of parenthesis and brackets whenever I open them. I think that's all I would need, no need for suggestions and autocorrects. Can anyone spoonfeed me what I need to install for that simple feature?
Brandon James
unironically visual studio.nothing can beat vs for c/c++ programming and if you only install the c/c++ tools it only takes up 2 gigs.
Asher Hall
Source Insight is pretty gud
Eli Reed
nano
Wyatt Hill
>Void mechanism >Disentanglement ("Brain Combing") >The sludge I want to read more
Thomas James
why not use Geany or Codelite?
Jose Long
But font rendering is better on Linux. Windows has the worst font rendering
Benjamin Jones
But that's the opposite of correct.
Benjamin Bell
Qtcreator is pretty good.
Henry Green
Is that a surprise? Office requires almost the same space than the OS and so does many Microsoft software.
People still defend the Microsoft environment anyway.
Jacob Thompson
This, and while using Windows, you can get some builds like WinPython and Anaconda and have a portable C++ & Python environment with Qt as a GUI framework available.
James Collins
emacs m a c s
Leo Smith
Y-you guys do realize IDE has no influence whatsoever how fast the compiler is, right?
Joshua Stewart
