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

<p>Something like Steve Yegge's <a href="http://steve.yegge.googlepages.com/effective-emacs" rel="noreferrer">"Effective emacs"</a>.</p>

All this said, I have been using only Emacs for all of my editing of C++ source code for over 20 years, since the cfront days.

Regexes do not have enough expressive power to describe the C++ syntax accurately.</p>\n"}, {'answer_id': 28881649, 'author': 'Flow', 'author_id': 194894, 'author_profile': 'https://Stackoverflow.com/users/194894', 'pm_score': 0, 'selected': False, 'text': '<p>I recommend <a href="https://github.com/leoliu/ggtags" rel="nofollow">ggtags</a> and <a href="https://github.com/Sarcasm/irony-mode" rel="nofollow">irony-mode</a>.
