Originally posted by Sysman View PostI came across a discussion recently where someone was complaining that his VS 2012 C++ programs had slower execution times than expected.
It turned out that the installation package had put the 32 bit version in by default. By installing the 64 bit version he got the expected performance back.
Just something to check...
VS2010 was faster at compiling C++ than the previous versions, and although I never did a comparison it supposedly produced faster code too. Unfortunately they rewrote intellisense and bollocksed it up completely, and didn't bother implementing it at all for C++/CLI, which to be honest was probably a blessing as it meant a lot less random lock ups.
What I'm currently working on has to build in VC6 . Fortunately I've cobbled together a debug build in VS2005, so it's not too hideous to work on, but I have to live with it asserting and various bits of the app not working correctly as a result. Trying to use anything newer results in too many issues with dependent libraries that I have no way of rebuilding.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment
