windows - Is Visual Studio 2012 suitable for C (not C++) professional programming? -
i've develop service windows7 in c. i've use few c libraries (gnu scientific library among others) , i'm wondering ide adopt.
with c#, i'm used both visual studio 2012 , monodevelop 4, i'm not sure concrete usability c (not c++). not toy project or learning tool: i've productive enough pay bills.
is vs2012 suitable kind of project? common features can't use plain c development? serious limitations in ms c compiler? gcc/gdb supported? professional alternative (free or not)?
edit
note i've few c libraries link support windows. 1 developed in 2006 (with vs 2005).
visual studio no longer supports c separate language. can write unmanaged c++, satisfactory writing windows services. gsl includes "extern c" decls linking c++, won't problem. compile gsl libraries vs, , you'll go. cygwin , mingw provide alternatives vs, vs gold standard working in windows; in particular, if writing service, ability attach , detach process make life easier.
