That's *excellent* news :-) now all I need is the time :-(

Thanks for posting the link.

It's also a reason to do more work on making Poplog itself more
convenient as an IDE for C++ development -- at one point I was
using it for editing C++ code to be compiled by the (free) gnu C++
command-line compiler on *nix platforms. But it's a lot of work
to add all the typical IDE features we now take for granted.

Short list:
  (1) compilation errors in an output window, click on the error and
  it takes you to the correct line of source code.
  (2) Class browser: left-click takes you to the declaration, right-click
  takes you to the definition (or something equally convenient)
  (3) syntax colouring

Ok, I could go on, but then it wouldn't be a *short* list. None of the
above is a huge amount of work ... anyone already done it for C++ ?

Hello,


A good new for Poplog development: Microsoft releases for free its C++
compiler without the IDE.

Now, there's no need to buy Visual C to rebuild Poplog for Windows
from scratch.
