Common tool set for C ++ programmers

C ++ Program Common tool set

■... Development Environment

----> Turbo C

DOS EraC LanguageThe developed classic tool is applicable to two types of students: C beginner (especially students) and a professional with nostalgia :)

----> Visual c ++ 6.0/7.0

A stable and powerful IDE development environment with rich debugging functions. The custom macro function is also a major feature. Microsoft's classic, powerful and self-explanatory. Some of the included tools are also very good, such as: spy ++. However, compared with similar compilers, the C ++ standard is not well supported, especially in versions 6.0 and earlier.

----> BCB

Borland's c ++ builder is another powerful ide that can rival VC, with a slightly slower speed and stability, but it has better support for the c ++ standard.

----> Cygwin

The C ++ compiler on Windows is based on GCC and fully compatible with Windows features, such as Winsock support. You can find detailed information about cygwin from the http://www.cygwin.com.

----> Dev-C ++

On Windows, a C ++ IDE development environment similar to VC and BCB is a shared software. The interface is friendly and elegant, and the size is not big. The 4.9.x version supports Chinese language and does not need to be customized. The compiler is based on GCC and fully supports STL. However, it may be difficult to be competent for large-scale software projects. You can go to http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/devcpp.htmlto find the relevant information about the dev-cworkflow.

----> Source insight

Has the same beautiful interface as Dev C ++ and providesCodeThe Edit and view functions of, with rich syntax highlight function, can automatically pop up the member function prompt like VC, it also has a fast and convenient function jump function (but the jump speed seems a little slow ). It only requires careful adjustment and modification when the default settings are not appropriate. You cannot find the name after typedef.

■... Auxiliary

----> Visual assist

Auxiliary programming tools in the vc ide environment can identify various keywords, functions, and member variables, automatically give tip, and automatically correct case and spelling errors. Is a good partner of VC development.

----> Understand for C ++

A c/C ++ ide programming aid that supports reverse engineering, code orientation, and some statistical functions, from the http://www.scitools.com you can find detailed information about understand for C ++.

■... Program editor

----> Editplus

A very good text editing software, powerful but lightweight. Supports different languages, including project organization and rich custom functions. By setting the user tool, you can combine it with other language compilers to form a simple IDE.

----> Ultra Edit

Similar to editplus, the editing environment can be customized through the configuration function provided by the script file, but it has not changed much since version 6.0. for programming, the custom settings are not as convenient as editplus.

----> Emacs

It is recognized that the most functional and complex text editor in the world can also be used as an editor for programmers.

----> Visual slick Edit

A powerful editor for programmers. The most important thing to mention is its custom functions, which are very useful and can be compared with Emacs. It comes with a set of pcode interpreters, which use the C syntax and can be attached to a dynamic library. It is very convenient to use with mingw. You can find details about slickedit from the http://www.slickedit.com.

----> Iqedit

The full-featured programmer uses an editor with a nice UI, where you can find details about iqedit from the http://pwksoftware.com.

■... UML/Modeling

----> Rational Rose

Powerful modeling tools have long been "widely known" and you don't have to comment on them. Detailed information about Rational Rose can be found from the http://www.rationalsoftware.com.cn.

----> Visual Modeler

The gadgets attached to MS Visual Studio 6.0. It is a strategic product jointly developed by rational and Microsoft and is a simplified version of Rose.
----> Visio

Microsoft's modeling tools are more user-friendly, but have no features such as Rose, strong, proprietary, support for forward code generation, and reverse code engineering.

----> Together

Another powerful modeling tool, written in Java, has a good reputation, but is a little slower. You can find detailed information about togather from the http://www.togethersoft.com, and the following URL provides a tutorial on together: http://www.cc.puv.fi /~ TKA/kurssit/tietojarjestelmien_suunnittelu/together/tccguide6

----> Visual UML

It supports multiple language types, such as Vc, VB, Delphi, and corba idl. It can generate code directly from the UML design diagram, which is easy to use and suitable for personal use. The interface is also refreshing. You can find detailed information about visual UML from the http://www.visualObject.com.

----> Smartdraw

The general chart production software can be used to make group loom diagrams, flowcharts, and statistical charts. With an image library, you can create various types of charts. You can find detailed information about smartdraw from the http://www.smartdraw.com.

----> Playcase

China-made object-oriented modeling software, compatible with UML and IDEF, lightweight software, but the interface looks a little simple, but Mr. Gao Zhan completed with Delphi.

■... Version Control

----> Clearcase

The rational version control management software provides powerful functions to control various types of documents, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents. However, it is complex to use, not easy to use, and not free software.

----> CVS

It provides a version control management method for web-based distributed collaborative development. It is a free software and can be customized using scripts. However, permission control functions are relatively weak.
----> VSS

Microsoft's version control management tool has simple functions and is suitable for small teams to integrate it into other Microsoft development tools for ease of use.

----> Sourceoffsite

Microsoft provides developers with tools for remote access to the VSS database, enabling remote database updates to support remote office. Other version management tools include PVCs, VCs, and RCS.

■... XML

----> Expat

C function library used to read and process XML documents. It was originally a personal work of James Clark and is simple, lightweight, and fast. However, the supported encoding methods are limited, and the most regrettable is that Chinese characters are not supported. Detailed information about expat can be found from the http://expat.sourceforge.net.

----> Xml4c

The XML Parser of IBM is written in C ++ and has powerful functions. It is claim to support up to 100 character encodings and support Chinese characters. It is suitable for large-scale XML applications. If it is only a small range of applications, it is not the best choice. After all, you need to "bear" about 12 Mb DLL heavy burden. You can find detailed information about xml4cat http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/xml4c.

----> Xerces C ++

The XML project of Apache is also implemented in C ++ and comes from xml4c of IBM. Therefore, the programming interface is consistent with xml4c. But currently only supports a few character encoding, such as ASCII, UTF-8, UTF-16, etc., cannot process XML documents containing Chinese characters. You can find details about xerces C ++ from http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c.

■... Test

----> Cppunit

A unit test framework of C ++. You can customize a specific test scheme by deriving a test class. A member of the xunit family, transplanted from JUnit, is a unit test framework in Java. Detailed information about cppuint can be found from the http://cppuint.sourceforge.net.

----> Rational Robot

Rational automated testing tools provide automated testing features by writing scripts. Its Gui-Based Script recording function helps to test GUI software functions; its vu-Based Script recording function helps to test data communication functions of some software.

----> Rational purify

It is also a rational automated testing tool and does not need to be tested.Source codeIt can be used to check memory access errors and Windows API call errors to complete software reliability testing. It is a white box test.

Other rational testing tools include testfactory, purecoverage, and testmanager.

■... Log

----> Log4cpp

A c ++ function library used for logging can record content to different destinations in a customized manner, such as files and console syslog, some irrelevant records can also be blocked by controlling the record level. You can find details about log4cpp from the http://log4cpp.sourceforge.net.

■... Annotation

----> Doc ++

The annotation document generation tool can output documents in Tex and HTML format according to the annotation in the source program. In addition to the C/C ++ language, it also supports IDL and Java. Only command line usage is supported. From the http://docpp.sourceforge.net, you can find detailed information about Doc ++.

----> Doxygen

the annotation document generation tool provides more comprehensive functions than Doc ++. It can generate documents in multiple formats including HTML, PDF, and RTF, and has a GUI, in addition to the C/C ++ language, it also supports IDL, Java, PHP, and C. From http://www.stack.nl /~ Dimitri/doxygen can find detailed information about doxygen.
