- Chris Lattner and his compiler team were well known to be big fans of C. Many of the low-level libraries in OS X, especially audio and I/O are written in C and C.
- What are some good compiler for mac other than xcode. I used to compile and run online but want a compiler i can download and work with offline. More Less MacBook Pro 13', OS X 10.10.
Code Blocks is an excellent programming option for C++. It consists of an open source, multiplatform integrated development environment that supports using multiple compilers, among which are: GCC (MingW / GNU GCC), MSVC++, Digital Mars, Borland C++ 5.5 and Open Watcom. The default compiler that this Code Blocks package comes with is MinGW.
Code Block’s functions can be expanded by using plug-ins. It has a fast, personalized construction system that doesn’t require makefiles and that allows you to carry out parallel constructions on systems with a multicore CPU.
The Code Blocks’ debugger supports the applying of breakpoints on the source code or on the data that the program operates, as well as the establishing of conditions and counters for said breakpoints. It is also possible to create defined inspections by the user. Another noteworthy characteristic are the customized memory dumps.
Finally, Code Blocks colors the open source syntax, includes “code folding” for C++ and XML languages, and has an interface with tabs, a class browser and a function to complete the source code.

Once you have done that, the easiest thing is to either use the Xcode IDE or use gcc, or nowadays better cc (the clang LLVM compiler), from the command line. According to Apple's site, the latest version of Xcode (3.2.1) only runs on Snow Leopard (10.6) so if you have an earlier version of OS X you will need to use an older version of Xcode.
I am taking a 'Digital Computations' class right now, but it really should be labeled 'C++ for Beginners.' We're learning C++ and using Visual C++ to compile our programs - all on PCs.
I, however, own a Mac, and it is very annoying to have to go into lab every time I want to work on C++ homework. I've searched and searched and searched, but I can't seem to find any Visual C++ compilers that will run on a Mac OS. Does any such thing exist?
Obviously, I'd like it to be as close to the PC program as possible - I am being graded on it, after all. And since it's only a semester long course, I really need it to be free, too.
Can anyone help?
Thank you very much!
