What is Code::Blocks ?

Code::Blocks is an open-source Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that enables developers to create, launch and handle coding operations for C++, C and Fortran languages. The platform allows organizations to design and store custom templates in a centralized repository and update notes on projects for reference.

Code::Blocks includes multi-platform capabilities, which allow users to develop, compile, test and debug multiple source codes on Mac, Linux and Windows operating systems. It offers a variety of features such as audit trail, custom abbreviations, auto versioning, automated code completion, syntax highlighting, modification tracking, to-do lists and more. Additionally, coding professionals can maintain logs to store error reports, search results, compiler messages and other data.
