What IDE?

Just out of interest, what IDE are the MAME devs here using (and anyone else, for that matter)?
I want to have a play around with the source and could do with a good IDE. Free is good, BTW.

FWIW I just use vim/CMake/clang/gdb command-line. It can be roped into doing most things you need.

I was gonna try installing and configuring Eclipse on my new Linux box, here's some old directions for setting it up with MESS.

Eclipse for anything but Java is a recipe for pain. Don't do it unless you're a masochist.

Yeah, that's the situation where I used it. Hell, I don't think I can name another free, open-source IDE.
That and I also wanted to see if the directions on the MESS.org website were still valid, what needed updating, etc.
Though as anyone on the team could tell you, I am kinda a masochist too. Anyone who's beaten their head against the wall in search of documentation as often as I have probably is. For that matter, most emulation developers are.

KDevelop is free as in beards.
IntelliJ has an Apache-licensed edition.
NetBeans is CDDL/GPL2.
Qt Creator is free.
Code::Blocks is GPL.
Those are just open source ones that I can think of right now with C++ support. Not endorsing any of them.

Valve recommends Qt Creator and Sublime Text to the VS-addled game industry monkeys. Sublime Text in particular is interesting - it's a multiplatform Notepad++ clone with plugin support, and lots of available plugins. (If you're just on Windows, you can do far worse than Notepad++ itself, by the way, and it's free).

It was bad a couple of years ago. Now I use kepler and it is working nicely.
Though I have 12Gb ram on my machine....
The C indexer also works. You'll have all the goodies like call history, jump to declaration, ... you name it.

This sounds promising. Jump to declaration is something I'm keen to have.

I use QT Creator and really like it. Since QT has its own internal compiler for all its MOC stuff, its C++ parsing is spot on, and IDE operations like "Find all uses of this function" and "Jump to declaration" are pretty darn perfect (I can't remember getting a false match - even when dozens of functions are named the same thing, classes have complex inheritance, etc). Templates confuse it occasionally, but templates confuse everything/everyone, so meh :-).
Happy coding! The MAME source tree is pretty well organized and really easy to follow if you stick with it.
