C++ IDE/Compiler

[neilm]

I've just installed Eclipse for Java, what's the best to use for C++ development?

Thanks.

What platform, what compiler? If using Microsoft tools for Windows development then the proper flavor of Visual Studio will offer the best IDE.

I belive Eclipse includes some modules/plugins to support C++.

If you're looking for a dedicated IDE, look at MS Visual C++ Express Beta, or Bloodshed's Dev-C++.

Opps forgot to include that, yea I'm using Windows at the moment (thinkin of installing a Linux distro for sh1ts and giggles), looks like Visual Studio then.

I used bloodshed when i was in school, now i'm toying around with a new one called codeblocks. we'll see how it turns out.
