Best editor/compiler (Mac & PC)
I'm working through the book Absolute C++, doing all the programming projects and self tests, as well as doing Intro To Programming at Uni.
I've been using Visual C++ Express, but since I'm using my 2GB Dropbox to store all my files (so I can easily work at home or at the office), I'm running out of space pretty quickly due to Visual C++ creating lots of .icph files & debug folder and so on. Some of the projects were ending up with 50-100MB folders for code only 20 or so lines long!
Someone at work suggested just using a basic editor (with syntax highlighting) and using Visual Studio's Command Line to compile and run, and this is much better in terms of file size - I'm using SuperEdi as the editor.
Since I use a Mac at home, my question is what is the best editor/compiler compilation so that I can work on the files on my XP based PC at work, OS X 10.6.4 at home, and keep the file sizes of the projects down?
Thanks
