Abstract

AnyviewC is a C-language integrated development environment (IDE) with visual debugging feature. Besides editing, compiling, and debugging C-language source code, with the help of the special algorithm to recognize typical data structure, and the layout strategy to visualize corresponding data structure, AnyviewC can identify the relationship among the data and apply visualization techniques to demonstrate data structure as suitable graphics. AnyviewC has been used as a practice platform for data structures course in Guangdong University of Technology, and received widely approval in enhancing students´ performance in the course.
