Miscrosoft Visual Studio 2010 and C++0x

[Masterxilo]

Just learned that MS Visual Studio 2010 was released some hours ago.

There are some new features in both the IDE (e.g. new design, faster Intellisense) and the language, look it up:

• http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd465215%28v=VS.100%29.aspx
  
• http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235629%28VS.100%29.aspx

  Additionally, Visual C++ supports several C++0x features, for example, lambdas, auto, static_assert, rvalue references, and extern templates.

• Wiki C++0x
  
• They also added a (standardized?) multithreading framework: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd504870%28v=VS.100%29.aspx
  The most interesting part of this is the PPL: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd492418%28v=VS.100%29.aspx. Together with lambda functions, this allows easy parallelization of loops.
  

 

The only problem is, that one has to learn all those new great things... xD

Doesn't look like a standard edition is going to be released.

problem is, it can't display C++/CLI Intelisense

Has anyone tested this version with Leadwerks?

I have upgraded my pc and want to install this version, but need some input first.

[Masterxilo]

Yes I did, the title says it

Works just fine.

pity no more stanard edition. i won't have the funds any time soon to buy the £500 professional upgrade version. so i'll just stick with 2008 and use the c# 2010 express version. i do think the new IDE can be slow to respond to updating references at times. so i get errors underlined that are not errors at all.

There is no need for a Standard edition. There is Express edition (free), and Professional Edition, and various Enterprise editions.

 

You can also compile 64-bit programs with the Express edition, but you need to configure it for that manually. It's an default option in the Professional Edition.

 

Although I have also Professional and Enterprise Edition, I prefer to use the Express Edition, because it's much faster to load and not so bloated with features I will never use.

Unless you want to use ATL or MFC without all the features of the Professional Edition and the cost.
