Hello. A big favor to ask of all of you:
I am attempting to get a general idea of who is using C and
for what sorts of projects. I am also very interested to know
which compilers and debugging tools / programming aids
are being used.
If everyone could take just a moment to mail me comments, I will happily
summarize the results to the net. References to similar studies
would also be greatly appreciated.
Specifically, I am very interested to hear about:
What is the purpose of your current project?
How many programmers are working with you?
What is the target machine? target OS ?
What is the development machine? development OS ?
Which compiler do you use ? Do you like it ?
What percent of your time is spent debugging?
Do you have/use/like/dislike any of the following:
Static program checker (e.g. lint) ?
Debugger (e.g. sdb/dbx) ?
Version control (e.g. sccs/rcs) ?
Automatic program generation (e.g. make) ?
Other tools (e.g. profiler) ?
Thank you very much for your time,
Stephen Kaufer
