Re: [cdt-dev] Differences CDT vs IDE for Devs

[Jonah Graham <jonah@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

"IDE for C/C++ for Developers" is a complete IDE that you can download from https://eclipseide.org/

"CDT" or more formally "Eclipse CDT" is a project that provides features + plugins to support C/C++ development. Although we don't normally call them "extensions" in Eclipse IDE land, it would be fairly accurate to call it an extension. https://github.com/eclipse-cdt/cdt

There are parts of CDT that can be used headlessly, depending on your use case, such as parsing, indexing, formatting, and building C/C++ files/projects.

I hope that helps.

Hello,

I'm apologize, total noob, but is CDT the headless form of the IDE for C/C++ for Developers or is it an extension?

Thank you kindly in advance.
