Out of which of the Microsoft Visual C++ range would anyone recommend?
I've been using Dev-C++, but I'd like code completion and I guess I want
to see what a commercial IDE looks like.
Thanks in advance.
(Sorry if this is off topic, c.l.c is just about the language, correct?)
The IDE of the lcc-win32 compiler system features:
o Code completion (escape key)
o fields of structures appear automatically when you type
structureName.
or structureName->
Now, this happens even if you do it inside a comment or a character
string... but that is a small bug that I will correct ASAP...
It has also:
o project management (automatic makefile generation)
o windowed debugger
o Where is this identifier USED? (Ctrl+F8)
o List of all functions in a file. Jump to any with a double click
o Software metrics: measure the complexity of your code
o Goto definition of any symbol.
o Spelling checker (like Word, it underlines misspelled identifiers).
This is the only IDE in the world that does this.
o Syntax checking when saving (mismatched parentheses, brackets,
or braces). It will tell you when the mismatched element started,
i.e. it will tell you where the badly closed braces OPENS.
o Utilities like diff, grep are built in.
o Regular expression search.
It has a bad press in this group, so it is not listed in the
clc wiki page.
Price:
Zero dollars and zero cents.

Attention this is a C only IDE. No C++.
Compiler, linker and ressource editor/compiler included.
