Hey. I know in CS 53 we used the unix jpico compiler, and in CS 153 we use MS Visual Studio. I was wondering what all the upper level courses used as a compiler/editor/Integrated Development Enviroment/etc. Just curious.

Whatever the hell you want usually. As long as it ends up compiling on the Dells (32-bit Linux) with g++ (this is usually dictated by the instructor).

--- Personal Preference ---
I've always just used vim (editor), gcc (compiler tools), make (project build tools), valgrind (profiler) and gdb (debugger)... nothing too fancy, but granulated enough so that I can swap tools out for better ones when I need to.

I think MSVC++ has most of those built in for Windows people, and KDevelop/Anjuta does the same for Linux/UNIX people. Then there's always emacs (the end-all-be-all of software).

Hope this answers some of the question...

Some classes will want the program to run on unix/linux some will want it to run on windows and some won't care. Most the time they don't care what language you use, and I have never had them tell him what environment to use. In 53 I used EditPlus2 instead of JPico. I need a mouse and ctrl+c, ctrl+v.

Just be careful you don't get yourself a file full of ^M's.

cat (filename) | tr "\r" " " > (cleanfilename)

(filename) is the name of the file you want to clean up; (cleanfilename) is the name of the resulting file (itl'll get created if it doesn't exist; it'll get overwritten if it does).

so is 153 the last of visual .net for comp sci students? because i cant stand .net and hate having to go to the CLC to use it since i'm a Mac user.
