Well, there's a difference between having an IDE if you want to use it and being chained to one. Many of the *nix-users I know are of the sort that would not use a single keystroke or mouse-click, if 20 would do. I'm hoping that's not "typical" but it is an observable behavior. Maybe that's why this notion surfaces so often.
As hardware integration levels increase, and fewer and fewer internals of popular MCU's are externally observable, I think it would be really helpful to have IDE's that integrate a high-precision simulator, of which, BTW, I know of exactly none for any of the MCU's with which I'm familiar. An IDE should, at least, have "hooks" on which such a tool could be "hung." I don't think any of them have such "hooks." Under MS-DOS, it wasn't difficult to do without the IDE if one used batch files to move between various tools, e.g. editor, compiler, assembler, linker, simulator, programmer, etc. I doubt it's impossible to do similar things under LINUX, and it shouldn't be impossible under Windows. regards, Richard Erlacher ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave McGuire" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <sdcc-user@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Tuesday, September 02, 2008 9:02 AM Subject: Re: [Sdcc-user] documentation & open source generally > On Aug 31, 2008, at 5:38 PM, Bobby Garner wrote: >> A great many people who want to use SDCC would prefer to use it in >> an IDE. > > In my experience, I'd not call it a majority by any stretch.
