About:
CodeLite is a free, open-source IDE designed for C, C++, PHP, and Node.js development. It offers robust code completion, refactoring tools, and an integrated debugger to streamline the coding process. Built on the wxWidgets toolkit, it provides a cross-platform native user interface that is both lightweight and highly customizable.
Key Features:
  • Cross-platform support (Windows, macOS, Linux)
  • Integrated GDB/LLDB debugging support
  • Smart code completion and refactoring
