I remember this as total pain to use compared to CodeBlocks 10 years ago, but if Embarcadero improved it and kept it low memory it can be pretty usable in our schools which often have 10 years old PCs with 2GB of RAM etc...,
I remember thinking the reverse, 14-15 years ago.
Any particular reason why these two posts were rendered dead? ------- H_Pylori 1 hour ago [dead] [–] Back in the day, Dev-C++ was the ideal IDE for the C/C++ beginner. Simple, easy to use and very light in term of resources. I remember being able to run Dev-C++ on a 166Mhz Pentium I with 32Mb of RAM (which was hopelessly obsolete even by then). You could even install C libraries automatically as DevPaks. ------- ku-m…

To be clear, the posts you are referencing are about debugging an executable with no source code available, which is not the normal use case for a programmer.
It seems you have not read the post or you don't have experience with gdb or with Linux debuggers/ide combos. He's debugging zig, but his issues are with the ux and iirc he mentions few zig-specific bugs. I have been through the same ordeals while debugging C++ on Linux. In the end, there's only gdb with a command line interface. Couldn't get any nice IDE with watch, memory view or even simple breakpoints to work. So…

We have radically different memories then. Bloodshed dev-c++ was always the lightest and snappiest C++ IDE around.

I wonder what's the motivation behind this fork. Embarcadero is the company currently maintaining and selling Delphi dev tools. They also have their own commercial C++ IDE. Is it treated as demo App for their own toolchain.

I was a big fan of Delphi.Would be interested in a python IDE that could build phone apps from them.

but what if you aren't using Qt?
QtCreator is a generic C/C++ IDE, built with Qt. (and since it has language server support nowadays it looks like it's useable for rust, etc). It has a profiling UI, valgrind support, etc etc.
Sometimes I feel they should rebrand it, because many people are blocked by the Qt name.
TDM-GCC is such a better solution for Windows than normal MinGW ports. Geany + TDM-GCC is an ideal setup for introductory programming.
