CodeLite is an Open Source, and free, cross-platform IDE specialized in C, C++, PHP, and JavaScript (mainly for backend developers using Node.js) programming languages.

This application is full of many advanced features but still allows users of all skill levels to produce source code from a clean and intuitive coding environment.

Code Completion

CodeLite offers two code completion engines (both can be enabled at the same time)

● C++ code completion: powerful and speedy code completion based on our in-house parser (supports C++11 auto keyword, templates, inheritance, etc.)
● clang based code completion for C++ projects - based on the CLANG/LLVM project - this feature provides a compiler level code completion
● Parse and display Doxygen comments in the code completion box (as a separated floating window)
● JavaScript code completion, including AngularJS, Node.js ECMA5, ECMA6, browser, and much more
● PHP code completion
● Compilers
● Generic support for compilers with built-in support for GCC/clang/VC++
● Display errors as code annotations or as a tooltip in the editor window
● Errors are clickable via the Build tab
● LLDB support

CodeLite v6.0, CodeLite supports the next generation debugger LLDB for OSX, Linux, and Windows (remote debugging only for Windows).

GDB Support

● Built-in GDB support, with the following features included:
● Watches table - add persistent watches with a single click
● Quick Watch - right click on a variable to expand it

● Threads view - contains a list of currently-running threads; switch between them with a single click
● Breakpoint management - disable, enable, conditional, temporary
● Automatic tree-like tooltips

● Tree View tooltips (auto de-references pointers)
● Allow modifying tooltips

XDebug support

● XDebug - the PHP debugger You can now build and debug applications with CodeLite using XDebug
