Codelite

On my experiment with FreeBSD 11.1, after some time i am installing codeblocks , an IDE for creating C/C++ program. Unfortunately codeblocks didnt work (crash) on launch. Looks like some issue on wxwidget. Dunno.

After some casual browsing on FreeBSD package/ports list on the net , i found another C/C++ IDE !

It is Codelite !

pkg install codelite

Launch codelite, automatically detect clang llvm 4 available, then do some helloworld project …

FreeBSD 11.1 top

There is something catching my attention when i do top on freebsd 11.1 terminal which are additional lines for ARC like shown below.

ARC is somewhat unique to FreeBSD because of its ZFS implementation. ARC : Adaptive Replacement Cache is one of ZFS features. ARC used RAM to cache ZFS objects.
