I dont know the technical reasons for it, but, the Eclipse Integrated
Development Environment (www.eclipse.org) for Java does things a little
like this -suggesting at coding time what could be wrong with your
code, giving alternatives on a popup textbox to change the type of your
variable,. to add a cast here, to remove a line there etc.- It is not
complete/foolproof, neither does it claim to be, but for most beginner
to intremediate level Java coders it is useful, (of course, it is for
the java language) It immediately suggests what could be wrong with
your code -So, looking at this proficiency of Eclipse in Java, one
wonders whether some of that kind of "interactive" coding can be
brought to C. Most Importantly, Eclipse also has a fully functional C
development package which you can get separately from their site. It is
all free for any purpose. You may want to look at it. But of course,
Java is very different (OOP, no header files, no need to think about
inclusion order, lot of things..... ) Whether Java is better or not is
not the topic of this group, but such a thing as intelligent support
for coding exists in Eclipse and is very useful.
