CodeLite is afree and open-sourceIDE for the C, C++, PHP, and JavaScript (Node.js) programming languages.[4][5]
In August 2006, Eran Ifrah started anautocomplete project named CodeLite. The idea was to create a code completion library based onctags,SQLite (hence, CodeLite), and aYacc based parser that could be used by other IDEs. LaterClang became an optional parser forcode completion, greatly improving its functionality.
LiteEditor, a demo application, was developed for demonstrating CodeLite's functionalities. Eventually, LiteEditor evolved into the CodeLite IDE.
CodeLite is a free, open-source, cross-platform IDE for the C/C++ programming languages using thewxWidgets toolkit. To comply with CodeLite's open-source spirit, the program itself is compiled and debugged using only free tools (MinGW andGDB) for Mac OS X, Windows, Linux and FreeBSD, though CodeLite can execute any third-party compiler or tool that has acommand-line interface. CodeLite also supports PHP and JavaScript development (includingNode.js support).
CodeLite features project management (workspace/projects), code completion,code refactoring, source browsing, syntax highlighting,Subversion integration,cscope integration, UnitTest++ integration, an interactive debugger built over gdb and asource code editor (based onScintilla).[6][7][8]
CodeLite is distributed under the GNU General Public License v2 or Later. It is being developed and debugged using itself as the development platform with daily updates available through itsGit repository.
