Extensible comparison between various C++ IDEs
Discovery of new(ly fixed) features in C++ IDEs and possibly new IDEs in hope of discovering a C++ IDE that's awesome enough to be included in loungesome-cpp.
Test procedures are contained in _tests directory - they are versioned with the following versioning scheme:
- MAJOR_MINOR (where MAJOR and MINOR are non-negative integers)
- pre-release tests (0_?) can be removed or modified at any time in a way that invalidates already existing tests.
- released tests (X_? with X > 0) cannot be removed. They can be only modified without bumping version if modification fixes an error in the testing procedure in a way that doesn't invalidate already done tests.
- bumping the version involves creating a new file (NAME_NEWVERSION.md) where the NEWVERSION is created by bumping the version by major revision (major-bumping) or minor revision (minor-bumping).
- minor-bumping is done when a test is extended in a way that you can extend already made test with new results. It involves incrementing a minor version number.
- major-bumping is done when a test is completely revised in a way that it's pretty much a new test, but it's similar enough ideologically it could have the same name. It involves incrementing a major version number and resetting the minor version number back to 0.
- any test can be marked as deprecated by adding a deprecation notice at the end of the file in the following format:
Deprecated
----------
This test is deprecated for reasons X, Y, and Z.
Testing subjects: For every tested IDE the repository contains tests with the same name as the corresponding test procedure. It also contains the file named version with the friendly name of the IDE (for example Visual Studio Community 2015 Update 1)
