How To Make Dev C++ A Default Ide

printf debugging is not any more difficult than using a debugger, especially if you don't need to restart your program to add printf statements (like in most scripting languages, as well as in Java), and usually more powerful. Putting a printf / cout / log / tap in the code costs you not more than 15 seconds. Even if putting a breakpoint and watch costs you 5 seconds - it is not a huge difference. And debugger sucks if you don't know the place where the error actually happens - you have to resort to logging anyway, because debugger doesn't allow you to move back in time and see previous program state, while logging does.
What if your program miscalculates something in iteration 24532, but you see the effect not earlier than at iteration 132435? Would you step it manually using a debugger? Or just log relevant variables and find immediately in the log when things are getting bad?
Having a debugger is handy for simple cases (like why the hell doesn't it call this function?), but I can live without it. I have to fix bugs anyway.
On the other hand - have you ever tried refactoring in a dynamic language? It is doable, but it is like doing a fresh rewrite. I wouldn't call it 'refactoring'. So it is like wasting a week vs 10 minutes of using (semi) automated tool that understands your code and verifies that there are no type errors. So if you don't have refactoring support, you don't do refactoring in order not to break things. And if you don't do it for a enough time, your code will be mess. Just look at most PHP frameworks. Why most of them is crap?
(Not) having a debugger affects only programmer's convenience.
(Not) having refactoring and static type system affects code quality.
That is why I think refactoring is more important.

Dev-C is a free IDE for Windows that uses either MinGW or TDM-GCC as underlying compiler. Originally released by Bloodshed Software, but abandoned in 2006, it has recently been forked by Orwell, including a choice of more recent compilers.

hello altogether,
my name is Wolfram Pagels, Berlin, Germany
my status is :retired but enthusiastic c++-fan;

I use Dev-C++ since 3 month ago; in the 70th I programmed in Fortran;
after a long break I enjoy to learn c++11;

e.g.: the day before yesterday I got the following message from Dev-C++:

My second question to you: * h o w to enable (these) options at my installed and running actual mingw compiler as part of Dev-C++ IDE ?

Thank you in advance for your time,

yours sincerely

Well, the answer to your problem (but not to your question) is to change your IDE. Dev-C++ is far too old to support C++11. The MinGW GCC version that ships with Dev-C++ is version 3.4.2, which is really old. Decent support for C++11 starts roughly from 4.6.0, but since it is still experimental, the newer the better. Currently, you can get 4.7.1 version through '>TDM-GCC ports. I recommend switching to '>CodeBlocks, which you can download as an installer that includes TDM-GCC 4.7.1. That should allow you to have decent C++11 support.

As for setting compiler options, you typically have to navigate the 'Build Configuration' or 'Project Properties' or similar panels. Usually, you will find a place to put 'custom compiler options' where you can place the exact command-line compiler option (like -std=c++11), that is, if you can't find a checkbox for the particular option you need.
