    IDE with /usr/include/c++ autocomplete

    This is a relatively simple question, and it is mainly one of aesthetics, but is there an IDE that can provide autocomplete the files found under /usr/include/c++, such as iostream, apart from the IDE Eclipse? So if i go
    Code:
    std::c
    and press control+enter I get options such as cin and cout, and if I type in
    Code:
    std::cin.
    I get options such as get().
    Thanks in advance

    Eclipse apparently has code completion for c++. Haven't tried it myself though.

    http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/moreinfo/c.php
    The Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers runs on top of the Eclipse Platform. The Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developersprovides advanced functionality for C/C++ developers, including an editor (with syntax highlighting, and code completion), launcher, debugger, search engine and makefile generator.

    Oh yeah, sorry I forgot to mention that I was doing this in search of an alternative to Eclipse

    (1) Kdevelop.

    When it comes to C++ , it beats the Eclipse.

    It has source completion too ( only it has couple of options to be checked in the project options ).

    (2)Anjuta is also nice.

    (3)Code::blocks is ok, but bit buggy too ( from my experience ) .



    Btw, if some moderator sees this thread, they will probably shut it down, becuase this kind of thread emerges every second day .

    Anjuta doesn't complete the standard C++ libraries does it?
    Also if I recall Kdevelop doesn't either?

    Code::Blocks seems to do the best job of all Linux IDEs, IMO. It isn't perfect, but it at least its code-completion works 99% of the time with the C++ STL. I have had disappointing experiences with both Kdevelop and Anjuta, although the former seems to be the better choice of the two. As for Eclipse, it it a Java IDE first and foremost; it is rather apparent that C++ support is only an addon.

    Not necessarily. Unlike the usual "Which IDE is best?" threads, the question here is a very specific one about code completion of the standard library.
