Why do i do this ? and more to the point WHY am i so reluctant to just ditch RB and work entirely in C++ ?. Currently i do something most might considr crazy - i prototype and code initially in REALbasic and then ( using a home grown tool ) convert this into C++ ready for JUCE.
VS2008 + Visual assist user here.Įnters Visual Assist, which is really unbelievable. So you need to “buy” VS2008 professional and visual assist X (which costs around 100$, unless you qualify for accademic licence) which makes the total a bit expensive.īut that’s the best dev environment I’ve ever seen !
Now the thing is visual assist is an extention, so you can’t use it with visual studio express. cpp, and in the latest beta, it can even automatically implement pure virtual methods of the base. It CORRECTLY autocompletes almost everything (even #include statements for examples), has a “smart” refactoring ability, can move your code between. Enters Visual Assist, which is really unbelievable. It almost never works for me and for many user (according to the number of posts in the forum). I think VS2008 compiler and debugger are excelent (good documentation for compiler errors on MSDN, the debugger is very well designed, and it helps A LOT whith multithreads programs).īut Microsoft’s intellisence is total crap.
