Portability Question )

Roman:
Hi there!

MinGW fans may kill me in no time but the question sticks in my head:

Coud C::B be compiled by MSVC (6,7,8)?
Did someone try?

Why I'm interesting:
MSVC shows several times better performance when doing with c++ streams. I suppose C::B uses them much (correct me if I'm wrong). So it is interesting to have a build with 'fast' IO )

Best Regards,
Roman

stahta01:
Yes, someone has tried. I never heard of anyone who finished it. But, someone posted that he was close in the past year or two.

I tried once, gave up after two hours of trying.

thomas:
Code::Blocks uses no streams at all (at least not the streams you are thinking about). Building Code::Blocks with MSVC 6/7 is almost certainly impossible, since they don't support the necessary C++ language features.

MSVC 8 might work, I don't know... there is no urgent reason why it should not.

I know a bit of sad truth about VC6 ). What are C++ features missing in VC7 but used by C::B?

With regards,
Roman

Tjaalie:
Actualy I'm working on a version that works on MSVC becouse this is my first step into compiling a x64 version
wich I don't think I will ever compile.
