Cpp compilers

Learn as much as you like, but you won't get far without a compiler. Unlike some of the languages that I am used to, C++ sets standards which may, or may not be supported by all compilers. I imagine this will become a source of frustration for me...

compilers

clang

gcc

msvc

mingw

compiler basics

• headers
• dynamically linking libraries (pkg-config --cflags --libs xcb xcb-randr, ...)
• ...

interpreters

Every now and again it is useful to test out a couple of commands interactively at a prompt to see how they work out. I have gotten very accustomed to having IPython at my side, here are some of the options for C++.

cling

cling is a c++ interpreter built on top of clang and llvm.

cower -d cling-git

editors

It can be very useful to integrate your comipler into your editor. Here are some ways that this can be done.

vim

compile

vim has a builtin :make command that executes make at the root of your file-project.

The command used by :make is configured using the makeprg variable.

set makeprg=makedepend
