The suite creates an integrated environment for designing and developing applications based on C++. It features tools for code completion, declaration search, template management and modification, etc. The interface displays optionally avoidable tips.
Programmers need specialized applications to help them reduce their time and effort when coding programs. Falcon C++ is one of these applications. It incorporates C++ programming language along with powerful means to write code for apps, and debug and run them through a compiler.
Falcon C++ comes wrapped in a common interface, highly intuitive and with a large section for code writing. The left side panel can be used to access projects, the toolbar is used as a shortcut for common actions, and the menu tab to make custom configurations. The UI includes a few skin themes and custom options for syntax highlighting. However, note that if you perform multiple actions the interface may become laggy.
This IDE provides users some cool functions, such as tree-structured projects, code templates, or code completion. Package support for devpack files and project templates are also included. Furthermore, individuals can debug code and use the Auto-add watch of variables. Other incorporated options are hexadecimal to integer conversion, insert date-time, definition header, and function navigation.
In conclusion, Falcon C++ is a decent tool for programming enthusiasts. It's open source and is equipped with modern tools. However, you should have decent programming knowledge in order to utilize its functions.
