Linux development tools are C ++ development tools. compared with Microsoft (VC, VS2005, etc.) under Windows, C ++ development under Linux/Unix is varied and varied. Emacs, vi, eclipse, anjuta, and kdevelop are emerging one after another.

Windows

Development tools are presented to end users in the form of integrated development environment IDE. For example, VS2005 integrates the editor, macro assembly ml, C/C ++ compiler cl, resource compiler rc, debugger, document generation tool, and nmake. They are provided to end users in an integrated manner, which is very convenient for beginners. However, this business model directly leads to poor user customization, which is not conducive to automation, and the ability to integrate third-party tools is weak. For example, you cannot customize some macros to process repeated operations. you cannot experience the pleasure of automating makefile in one step. you cannot remotely log on to the server for development. you cannot use some "adhesive" to use third-party tools (for example, text Tools, string Tools) can be effectively called. It can be said that good commercial support and silly development are their main advantages.

In linux

Linux development tools are cut into independent gadgets. Handle different problems. For example, the editor (emacs, vim) is used to edit programs, the debugger (gdb) is used to debug programs, the compiler (GCC) is used to compile and link programs, and the performance analysis tool (gcov, gprof) is used to optimize the program, and the document generator (doxygen) is used to generate the document. At the same time, there are also some system tools and system knowledge that we need to know: Program automation mechanism makefile, system adhesive shell, system search tool grep, locate, find. Other tools (such as ctags and the DMMs of OCI) will become a powerful tool in your hands.

This document describes how to use Linux development tools. Because of the wide variety of tools, we do not have the ability to introduce them one by one. For Linux IDE tools such as eclipse and anjuta, although they are also very practical, they are relatively simple to use and are not currently mainstream. Therefore, they will not be highlighted. At the same time, this article does not intend to write an operation manual for each tool, but only focuses on the problems, operating mechanisms and main features that each tool wants to solve.
