Back in the ‘80s and ‘90s, there was Saber-C, later renamed CodeCenter from Centerline
Software.
These days some would call it an IDE for C on UNIX systems; it started out as an
interpreted C environment for better debugging during development. It was quite good at
the time, and was very helpful in finding some very nasty pointer bugs in various pieces
of software.
Historical trivia: one of the co-authors of Saber-C and co-founder of the company was
Steve Kaufer, who later founded and still runs TripAdvisor.
Best,
Win
