Dear all,
I have not written any c code since my bachelor studies (10 years since that time?.. oh god)
I would like to go back to that habit and using c for doing a bit of network programming (ip, dns e.t.c)
My first job would be to do repeat the book Kernighan-Ritchie and then I will continue with the Unix network programming guide. (anything else to suggest here?)
Then I would like to ask you, then what are today’s
-decent editors for c? Do they have some integrated help, do they have some autocompletion, or remind you for example what type the variable would be?
-debug the code and understand why this run time error occurs.
-is there also any gui that can integrated the two aforementioned (editing and debugging?)
I would like to thank you in advance for your help
Yeah K&R is the obvious first step, you might also want to check what has changed/is changing for the new C11 standard.
I use Emacs and it is great, but as it sounds like you want an IDE Eclipse and Netbeans are both good.
GDB is a excellent debugger and DDD is a GUI for it if you don’t want to live in the command line. Also, Valgrind is a great tool for checking for memory errors.
Kind regards,
Barry D. Nichols

I would like to thank everyone for their kind answers. I have installed eclipse and kdevelop… as I was not able to understand how to launch netbeans (Even though all my packages that I found in Yast where installed).
I have started using eclipse :).
It does exactly what I want… one minor thing is remaining though…
I have downloaded and extracted eclipse under my ~/Downloads folder… Where should I move it so the binary to be visible from console and under which permissions should be the folder containing eclipse and its files to be set?
I would like to thank you in advance for your help
You can put it in any normal folder in your home dir
just create a shortcut in your ~/bin folder to the executable and leave the permissions as they are.
