What equipment do programmers use while dealing with the C++ Programming Language?
What equipment? A computer.
Reply:A desk, chair, lots of Coke or Pepsi, a keyboard, headphones ( I like to listen to music when I program), lots of different snacks and finally I like to use a monitor when dealing with C++.
Reply:IDE's %26amp; compilers
Reply:What do you mean? Like where do they write their programs? Like Linux?
Reply:the bjarne stroupstrup bible :)


the computer


the compiler


the debugger


and the project analisys
Reply:If by equipment you mean what software tools then beyond the compiler itself I would get a good profiler, a code coverage analysis tool, perhaps a program like Lint which looks for coding bugs. You may also consider memory diagnostic tools that help catch memory leaks and over writes. If you are going to do device drivers and kernel level stuff, you will need a kernel level debugger like SoftICE.





If you are doing embedded work, then you need a cross compiler and usually an In Circuit Emulator and Debugger board. Probably some sort of EPROM burner or Flash Burner as well.
Reply:Equipment is hardware. You really don't need much to program or to program in C++. You may already have it, in fact -- even if this is idle curiousity.





Back in the sixties my late sister got her MS in Applied Math (programming though a programming degree was available) working on hardware less complicated than the $20 Scientific Calculator that I used when I went back to college 15 years ago. Anything which allows you to store a series of commands to execute is a computer in the modern sense, so to program -- not necessarily in any particular language -- any programmable calculator or computer will do.





C++ has certain demands. These are less complex than Microsoft would have you believe -- yes I'm one of those Linux idiots. In fact when Bill Gates criticized the One Laptop Per Child initiative as not providing sufficient computer power for education -- or essentially other uses, there were several postings around from computer professionals in the open source community that they were able to do all they needed on machines which did not meet what he said were minimum reasonable demands. In other words, his complaint was unrealistic.





What equipment do programmers use? Any computer or calculator which allows them to program. What do they use to program in C++? Usually a computer equipped with at least an editor, a compiler, a linker, a debugger and a memory profiler. Often these are all packaged in an integrated debugging editor, or IDE.





The hardware, the equipment, should be something sophisticated enough to compile programs which will run on the machine or machines you want to run the programs on. This can be sophisticated -- ID Games wrote Wolfenstein, Doom and Quake originally on integrated Unix and Linux networks, but sometimes it can be quite simple. Even if you are writing for a different operating system or chipsets (computer architectures), GCC, the development tools which are used at the heart of most Linux systems and is available for Windows, does among other things include cross-compiling capabilities which make compiling for different machines very affordable. And as I just found out the hard way, it isn't difficult to compile a program on one machine which you have to run on a later more powerful machine.





It's the software tools which allow programmers to use C++.
Reply:Integrated Development Environment (IDE) - is usually used during the editing/compiling/testing process.





Target System - this is the hardware that will actually run the computer program. In some cases, it is the same computer the IDE is on, in other cases it's a separate machine that has specialized hardware and software on it to simulate the customer's environment.





TOOLS: Debugger, Compiler, Linker (usually an all in one, such as VC++, or DOT-NET).
