Hi,

I want to ask, which development environment should I use to add new features to postgresql. Is Eclipse CDT (C/C++ Development Tool) suitablefor this, or are you using another environment, or just using pico, vi, etc.?

Regards,

Use the environment that works for you. Some people like emacs, some
kdevelop, some Eclipse, some VC++. Just use what you are good at.

My development environment primarily consists of gentoo, vim, gdb,
gprof, valgrind, and gcc 4.1.1. Eclipse is nice for Java, but I don't
really prefer it for C/C++ work.

In the end, you should really use what you're most comfortable with.

I can't speak for you. I find my competence is maximized when I'm
using Emacs; others find other sets of tools preferable. The code
doesn't care what tool you're best with.

- There are people who will swear by vi + ctags.

- There are some who still use QED. (Albeit not for this project...)

(These would be extreme Unix partisans who think that the move from
ed to vi was a Bad Thing... :-))

- Others prefer some form of Emacs.

- One of my coworkers I think uses pico for most things; he's not keen
on either of the typical Unix editors.

As a quite wide-ranging rule, a worker who blames his tools for things
not working tends to be *spectacularly* incompetent. If you pick
tools you're not highly familiar with, you'll be liable to fall into
that sort of problem :-(. Pick an editor you are intimately familiar
with, and you'll be as well off as you can be. Your errors will be
your own :-).

Higher end IDEs tend to work best with some sort of project setup. If we
were to support that it would be impossible - we'd forever have breakage.
We support exactly the toolset needed to build postgres, and let you
choose your own creation and management tools.

There are plenty of emacs users among the hackers, and it's possible to
set up emacs to drive building, debugging, the whole thing. For the most
part I just use its editing facities, and drive everything else from the
command line.

cheers
