Any good advice on using emacs for C++ project?

Viewed 23054

I'm looking for a good article on using emacs as C/C++ IDE.

Something like Steve Yegge's "Effective emacs".

No specific article, really, but I've found EmacsWiki to be full of useful information. Consider checking out these entries:

  • CPlusPlus as a starting point for many C++-related articles, and
  • CppTemplate to define a template that can give you a good skeleton when you start new files

I've recently stumbled upon this article which is quite good.

EDIT: Yep the link is no longer valid. It seems like they've changed their url recently and it doesn't redirect properly. Hopefully it will be back soon. Anyway the article was called "Benjamin Rutt's Emacs C development tips". I managed to find a copy here.

I'm planning to write such article in near future, but you can now take my configuration of Cedet + Emacs, that helps me to effectively edit C++ sources. If you'll have questions, you could ask me directly
