Hi,
I am new in the “Linux business” and i need to add an optimization to the LLVM compiler.
I would like to know what is the bast way to debug (IDE) the LLVM compiler ?
To be more precise, what is the equivalent to Microsoft visual studio on Linux platform? is it eclipse?
I want features like: syntax highlight, go to def, etc.
Thanks.
Hello,
Eclipse is pretty good. If you want something with a smaller memory footprint there’s always Code::Blocks for C++. It isn’t as advanced as Eclipse though.
I don’t know if anybody has done the configuration files for LLVM-GCC on those IDEs yet but it should definitely be possible to modify from the standard GCC profiles.
If you find something better, let us know.

I don't know if anybody has done the configuration files for LLVM-GCC on those IDEs yet but it should definitely be possible to modify from the standard GCC profiles.
The CMake build system should work on linux (since it do work on windows) and can generate projects for eclipse CDT, KDevelop and Code::Blocks.
I don't know how the features compare, but I tried monodevelop a bit
ago and found it worth considering.
