Re: Why C/C++ errors are SO obscure/devious??

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.

So, something in this field CAN actually be done... Even if some of my ideas had proven naive, I think that a C "pre-preprocessor" looking for errors and making some guess based on coding style (detected from sources: every programmer has his own coding style, the prepreprocessor should be able to examinate code and detect kind of indentation, of parentheses placement etc) and common error sources and tries to suggest possible causes could eventually be useful...
