"What's New In Visual C++ 6.0";
Wow. Tried looking for myself at the MS website, couldn't find anything. Basically, Visual C++ 6.0 has these:
Compiler
------------
__assume Keyword
Better Inlining Control
Dependencies Now Stored in a Text File
Dependency (.dep) File Generation
New and Improved Warnings <-- (Not by much LOL)
Placement Form of Operator Delete
Pragma Warning
Run-Time Error Checks
Throughput Improvements
Debugger
------------
AfxDumpStack for Diagnosing Field-Installed Applications
Edit and Continue (mixed blessing...)
GetLastError() Value Displayed as Register (Useful)
GUIDs Decoded for Display (FINALLY)
Improved Disassembler Output (Undecorated Symbols)
Improved V-Table and Function Pointer Display
In-Process Remote Procedure Calls
Load COFF & Exports Option
MASM Hex Syntax Supported
MMX Register Display
Module List Dialog Box
New Formatting Symbols
Thread Information Block
Variants Decoded for Display
Editors
-----------
Automatic Statement Completion (A VB crossover)
Quick Macro Recording
Resource Editor Support for Internet Explorer 4.0 Controls
Linker
Delay Load Imports
New Options for Linker, DUMPBIN, and EDITBIN
Revised Import Library Format
Automation Object Model
New Automation Properties and Methods
--------------------------------
There's a lot more support for MS's latest technologies, and as a pro developer, I'll tell you migration is EASY, and that it's pretty painless... and worth every bit of effort for a serious dev. CoolNameDenied
