It's pretty damn good. So long Dev-C++.
It is indeed a very good IDE. And it does build on top of a very good compiler and an excellent debugger.
However, it leaks a lot of memory, consumes a lot of memory, some of the missing aspects of ISO C++ compliance border the ridicule (you can, for instance, declare a friend member function without a return type), and some of the available third-party libraries are a nightmare to be installed under it.
Everything comes at a price.
I can deal with memory leaks ect for a great compiler/debugger
I haven't tried using third party libs so I guess I have nothing to add there.
Is this something you've experienced for yourself or something you've heard? How much memory is "a lot" of memory?Quote:

I cannot provide exact figures as I don't have it installed anymore.
EDIT: Most of these issues pertain to the included Help system, btw.
I have had it running for 2 full days now and opened several projects without closing it, and is currently idleing at 32k. Reletivly speaking (dev, codeblocks) yes this may be a lot. But otherwise it's really nothing. Hell, I have 700 megs left, why should 32k bother me?

Ironic, considering it's built largely for writing managed code, which is supposed to avoid memory leaks.
Small Price to Pay.
I've been using code::blocks recently, yet anoter ide that beats Dev C++ in overall usability.
VS 2003 rules!!!
I use VS.NET ... not had any problems with it really. I'm happy out with it.
Free VS 2005 is even better :). However, I don't use it because I don't have a copy of XP to install on my Mac.Quote:

Are we talking about the compiler that does this?
