I am used to Eclipse and Visual studio for development for Java and C#. I am looking forward to modify and compile some files in C in the Linux Wireless subsystem. The site recommends using Sparse but there isn't much documentation regarding it. Can Sparse be used as a development environment like Eclipse. Any documentation regarding this?

  • A link to the site would be helpful. As of now, I cannot find anything called "sparse" that is an IDE

    I guess it isn't an IDE. Following is the link. Sparse. Any recommendations for an IDE?

    Try vim + ctags or emacs. KDevelop should also be able to handle that amount of code.

From the top of the page you linked to:

Sparse is a semantic parser and static analyzer utility [...]

Sparse is not an IDE, but a command line programme that checks your C code for static type errors.
It has been specifically developed for use within the Linux kernel.

See here for a how to guide.
