    Wanna write C++ in VS.NET

    I admit it.

    I love C#, and am about to get VS.net, but I also want to be able to write plain c++. Not managed c++, just plain-ole, no .NET C++. Is it possible with VS.NET, or should I have VS 6 for this?

    Thanks,
    Carole

    MS would be shot if they removed standard C++ from VS.NET =). In fact, the compiler is much closer to the standard then VC6, so I hear.

    Yeah, that's true... but then, MS has been accused of doing such things as well.

    Thanks for the info.

    It is

    Wonderfully, I wrote up a load of code with GCC 3.0.1 under Linux, then transferred it to VC7 and there were only two problems:

    1. I'd used strcasecmp which is only on POSIX (equivalent of stricmp).

    2. I'd missed some iterators where I should have had const_iterators (VC7 picked up on them where GCC didn't )

    Just that one they did

    Although GCC whomps it for all sorts of template trickery which only a mother (or Kedaman) could love

    parksie, have you got the thing to link and work in windows?
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

    No

    I tried getting it working under Cygwin but it was having trouble installing. It compiled ok, and I could actually run the compiler on something, but it was completely lost for all its paths, and went extremely strange
