Eclipse CDT vs. Eclipse PHP vs. Sourcery CodeBench vs. WebStorm Comparison Chart

The CDT Project provides a fully functional C and C++ integrated development environment based on the Eclipse platform. Features include support for project creation and managed build for various toolchains, standard make build, source navigation, various source knowledge tools, such as type hierarchy, call graph, include browser, macro definition browser, code editor with syntax highlighting, folding and hyperlink navigation, source code refactoring and code generation, visual debugging tools, including memory, registers, and disassembly viewers. Adds concept of build configuration to the core model. Allows assignment of toolchains to standard makefile projects. Combined previous standard and managed project wizards. User selects project types and toolchains. Parameterized templates to help populate new projects. Very flexible, template actions written with the plug-in. Semantic highlighting amongst other editor improvements.

Sourcery CodeBench delivers a powerful toolset that helps embedded software engineers to efficiently develop and optimize software for a variety of targets and various domains including Automotive, Connectivity, Graphics, and Video applications. Sourcery CodeBench goes beyond just the compiler to provide developers with powerful open source, embedded C/C++ development tools to build, debug, analyze and optimize embedded software in complex heterogeneous architectures including Arm, IA32, MIPS and Power Architectures. Eclipse based IDE enabling workspace customization and project management. Enhanced source code editor with syntax highlighting. Custom board support through Board Builder, a tool for automatically generating linker scripts, debug configuration files, and start-up code based on a board’s memory map.
