Visual Studio

Visual Studio is very good for programmers.

Now you can to tell to your boss, my Visual Studio is just opening a project, so i have a plenty of time to have cup of coffee:)

Eclipse used to be slowest IDE in the world, but now Visual Studio had made the best effort to to beat it with;D

At one point I wanted to see if I could build my code in Visual Studio. (it could already be done in pocc / gcc), so after I made a new project in that folder, I realized it had put in a .vc directory that was 100MB... I still have no idea what that is for. After all, Pelles C can do all of the things I would use it for without that. Maybe the reason it takes so long to load is that it has to load files from this directory? I didn't care enough to investigate further, I just deleted all of the files related to that after seeing such a waste. Maybe if I really want to build it with cl.exe I can write a batch file for that.

These may help too

Copy project file to new one and change the C compiler.

That batch file idea is good too, you can create an Add-In for it.

I forgot about this, you can just use cl.exe instead of pocc.exe in Pelles C? I remember reading a while ago you can switch out polink with microsoft's linker- so maybe I should check out these features of the program.

Now it makes me wonder how well this would work for other compilers... I will have to try this out at some point. Thanks for the help.

That was a while ago. Now you'll have to consider which debugger you want to use:

PellesC 9:

Linker:
Added support for Pelles C Debug Info, dropped support for Microsoft CodeView info.

[TimoVJL]

Only the older 32-bit was CodeView ?

PellesC 9 obj-files use PO10 / PellesC debug info, so M$ link can't use that format.
One possibility is to create a conversion program from PO10 to PDB  format in some level.

LLVM started to support PDB,
