Pelles C

Pelles C for Windows is a complete development kit for Windows and Pocket PC. It contains among other things an optimizing C compiler, a linker, a resource compiler, a message compiler, a make utility and install builders for both Windows and Pocket PC.

It also contains an integrated development environment (IDE) with project management, debugger, source code editor and resource editors for dialogs, menus, string tables, accelerator tables, bitmaps, icons, cursors, animated cursors, animation videos (AVI’s without sound), versions and XP manifests.

The compiler is based on LCC (by Chris Fraser and David Hanson), and the install builder for Windows is based on NSIS. Both are heavily modified.

Features:

  • Integrated resource editor.
  • Integrated bitmap, icon and cursor editor.
  • Integrated animated cursor and video editor.
  • Integrated hex-dump editor.
  • Integrated source-level debugger.
  • Integrated source code editor with Win32 API call tips.
  • Project management.
  • Inline assembler with Intel syntax.
  • Support for custom controls in the dialog editor.
  • Support for additional project wizards.
  • Support for Microsoft’s exception handling: __try, __except, __finally, __leave.
  • Support for Microsoft’s new import libraries.
  • Support for delayed loading of DLL’s, much like Microsoft.
  • Support for most C99 features.
  • Support for Pocket PC.
  • Pelles C is free!
  • I’ve installed and tested the software, compare to the turbo pascal free version, this Pelles C is much more user friendly, with colours on syntax, and more features. Some more is totally free. Strongly recommend those who want to use for C/C++ programming.
