I use VIM, that's all I need. You can debug C/C++ applications as well I haven't yet tried that. I work mostly in ruby, and yes I can debug scripts exactly how one should be able to. Sometimes I code in C++ too, but for the purpose of contests such as GCJ I don't think you need any IDEs at all.
What matters here is if you've been able to solve the problem / identified the pattern. For any debugging that you'd have to do, printfs are going to be just fine! But anyways, I vouch for VIM all the way. It is the best imho :) On Tue, May 25, 2010 at 17:33, Shrey <[email protected]> wrote: > While attempting Code Jam and similar competitions, saving on time > spent writing, testing and debugging code can be a major factor.
