IDE with C and embedded Javascript support

Question

I have a 100k line C project with about 30k lines worth of embedded Mozilla Spidermonkey Javascript used for scripting GUI.

What is the best way to edit C and Javascript together or at least have a reasonable editor for the Javascript?

On Linux, I used to use two different instances of Eclipse one configured for C, one for Javascript. IT was not a particularly convenient solution.

Now that I am working on a Windows build, Visual Studio 2008 is doing fine with C support but Javascript support seems a bit ...lacking.

All I really want is to jump quickly between functions in the Javascript code and inspect variables. There are about 30 .js files. I can live without code completion and other niceties.

Ideally, I would see when calls to C code are made and jump to the C code but that is probably asking too much.

Otherwise it seems I am back to Notepad++ and grep.

Answer 1

I use the Zeus editor and it has a automatic ctags feature that works well for C, letting you jump between things like functions and structures etc.

I have not used the editor for JavaScript but the ctags web page lists JavaScript as one of the support languages so it might work.
