Discussion Server:
This IDE integrates a
Discussion Server, which lets the user to communicate with some other
available user on a remote system and discuss the current program for
various debugging purposes. This discussion can be done with any
number of users simultaneously. All the users discussing the program
can view the program and can give their comments. This helps in easy
debugging of the program.
MP3 Player:
This also bundles a MP3 Player
for Linux, which provides a curses based interface for various
controls (elaborated in Lin-Player), thus enabling user to enjoy music
while he is coding his program and also to control the play-list and
various equalizer parameters from the IDE which is other wise very
difficult in Linux (Console, without X-windows support).
Automatic Function
Prototype Display:
The IDE automatically displays
the prototype of the function the user is typing, if it exists in any
of the header files the user has included for the current program.
This enable user to supply the appropriate parameters for the
functions he is using.
Syntax Highlighting:
This is a typical feature
expected from any of the IDEs and which is provided in this IDE also.
This feature is to highlight (display in various colors) the
keywords/reserved words of the programming language and the alignment
of various constructs provided by the language.
External Compiler:
This IDE can be configured for
various compilers, which can give responses to basic queries like the
header file path, pre compiled image of the program, compilation
errors and provides a facility for output redirection. This feature
extends the portability of the program.
Syntax Language:
This IDE can load the syntax
given in a specific format (Syntax Language) and thus can be
customized for other purposes. Typical examples include, addition of
user’s own keywords and redefining the indentation for various
constructs and so on.
