A little C++ love on Channel9

  • Article

Check out this video with Soma, VP of DevDiv, posted today on Channel9.  He touches on a number of interesting topics, including C++ and native code.  Soma even came close to letting the cat out of the bag about some cool enhancements we have planned for MFC (we'll talk in detail about these as soon as we're able).  Seriously, though, I think the last time we heard a Microsoft exec say "MFC" was early in the Eisenhower administration.  :)

    Ok, I let the cat out of the bag, CString gets an IsNullOrEmpty method. IsNull for those who frequently use memset/ZeroMemory with a CString ;-)

    Judging from the comments on that interview, there seems to be enough interest in C++ (in VS2005 and in Orcas) to warrant a video on that subject.  Suggested topics to cover: (1) plans for MFC (and ATL) support and MFC/.NET interaction (2) short- and long-term plans for VC++ in general (e.g., concurrency?) (3) just where C++/CLI fits into the MS scheme of things in the .NET 3.0 world - is it just for managed/native interop, or what? What features of .NET will be inaccessable from C++/CLI (except via C#) (4) the future of native code in MS's road map (5) etc., etc. Would anyone else here like to see such an interview?  Perhaps more importantly, would anyone in your end like to grant such an interview?  :) Wil

    Andre: good one!  :) Wil: It's definitely on my to-do list to do a C9 video about VC++ strategy and roadmap.  It probably won't happen until December, though, since I'll travelling almost all of November.

    I can't be bothered with anything these days, but shrug. I just don't have anything to say recently. I haven't gotten much done recently. Nothing seems worth thinking about.
