Code::Blocks is a cross-platform Integrated Development Environment (IDE). It is based on a self-developed plugin framework allowing unlimited extensibility. Most of its functionality is already provided by plugins. Plugins included in the base package are:

• Compiler frontend to many free compilers
• Debugger frontend for GDB
• Source formatter (based on AStyle)
• Wizard to create new C++ classes
• Code-completion / symbols-browser (work in progress)
• Default MIME handler
• Wizard to create new Code::Blocks plugins
• To-do list
• Extensible wizard based on scripts
• Autosave (saves your work in the unfortunate case of a crash)
