Hi,
I'm really confused; Visual C++ comes in so many flavors that I don't
really know what to choose. First of all, I want to buy a commercial
version because the Express editions, however nice they are, cause too
much trouble to develop Win32 in pure C, and that is what I want to
do. The book I'm following is Charles Petzold's book Programming
Windows, in which he suggests Visual C++ 6.0, which is 10 years old
today. I'm purposely avoiding .NET and all the things around that
framework, I'm saving that for later.
Before investing in something where I have more to lose than gain, I
want your opinion.
Thanks a lot in advance.

None, they're all shit. Microsoft programmers are reknowned for their
incompetence.
What you want is "Bloodshed Dev-C++" as an IDE, and gcc/g++ as your
compiler.

Do I hear some jelosy there. I've had the occasion to discuss
various technical issues with some of them (Herb Sutter, for
example), and they definitely came accross as more competent
than most of the people complaining about them.

It depends on what he's developing. Having a second compiler to
double check your C++ is always a good idea, but there are
distinct advantages in using the "standard" tool kit for your
platform for your production code.

How exactly do you expect the commercial version of the compiler to
help you with that? This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |
