I do use very short names for all variables for which I do not have autocomplete (in Visual studio): for example, for local variables or CodeLite you say. However, I do admit that over there is way too much. In Visual studio, when you hover the mouse over a variable during debug, you get its value. I'm all for descriptive variable names but.I think when debugging you would be spending more time reading the name than actually looking at what they are being used for don't debug my flag variables. One more reason I really need autocomplete. That is why I regularly clean up my variable names and substitute them with something better and more descriptive. If you think you always come up with the right variable name the first time you do your code, then maybe you haven't had that many variables in your code. Yes, some of my variables are poorly named. The reason I use so long variable names is because otherwise I will not be able to remember what they do.
The reason I put flag in front of most of my bool variables is because I use the sorting of my autocomplete to quickly select them. bool flagAffineComputationDone bool flagSuperimposingComplexes īool flagSliceTheEuclideanSpaceInitialized GlobalVariablesContainer *theGlobalVariablesContainer īool flagDisplayingCombinatorialChambersTextData īool flagHavingBeginEqnForLaTeXinStrings
Then open up your package manager of choice and install, it will automatically update itself every couple days (whenever a nightly build is released).ĬombinatorialChamberContainer theChambers Anyway, if your going to use it same deal only this time get nightly build repo from the forums and add it to your sources list. It does however have the best Console I've seen. IMO I consider it a text editor not an IDE, there doesn't seem to be any improved functionality between it and an editor. This is a major lag problem with most linux users)ĬBlocks does have bad autocomplete.
(also make sure to remove any trace of GNU-Java, use Sun only.
IMO go download from the website (the nightly builds, beta) and install it yourself just stick it in $HOME/bin and fix all your shortcuts to point to it, set it up to automagically update your plugins.Īnd then you only need to remember to update it once every 4-6months if that. I don't really get why OP is saying Eclipse is slow, perhaps he downloaded a dodgy version off a corrupted repo or something. Yea, If only the C++ plugins for eclipse worked as well as it does for Java. With Netbeans having the second best editor, and Eclipse first. My only really problem with Visual Studio is it's mediocre text-editor (but still better than some), but then again they all have flaws that annoy the pants off of me.
