• GoingNative 7: VC11 Auto-Vectorizer, C++ NOW, Lang.NEXT

  Mar 28, 2012 at 7:40 AM

  Excellent interview and discussion.

  I'm encouraged about Jim's near-slip of getting a v2 of AV/AP out as quickly as possible after Dev 11 (good agreement with Herb Sutter's hints that C++ interim releases may be coming).

  We harped on perf being important and this proves you listened.

  The tooling and logs Mr Hogg imagines near the end will be ciritical to helping us know whether AV/AP is in effect or how far off my code is from playing (ex. imagine a warning like "Autovectorization skipped for loop ( line 245) in foo() because variable ptrA is not aligned on a 4 byte boundary...")

  Wow, I'm glad I caught this video. I was one of the complainers when VS2010 first came out and this is a huge turnaround. Well done and thank you for vastly improving the offline experience!

  I really like the integrated management experience now. Love the code: and title: search features as well as the Contains and Contents filtering. It's very nice to see the offline experience having things that online does not!  Well done! 

  I really appreciate the docking framework changes as well. Very nice. 

  Just playing with it now and it seems that the "near" keyword works again as well. Wahoo!!!

  Could you post the URL for the 2010 content? It did not show well in the video for me.

  STL is impressive as always. Looking forward to the production of more STL videos!

  A very nice talk.

  I especially appreciate the advice to default your lambda to capture nothing instead of the whole stack by reference as most samples show. I'll let the compiler show me what I need. That's the sort of tip which belongs in some version of "Effective C++11"

  Great tool. Please add another vote for C++ support as it's not very useful (but very desireable) to us C++ devs.

  Let's just claim the name right now:  nuget++

  Glad to see Boris has not left C++ behind after the beatdown. Yes, we're still waiting for C++/CLI intellisense!

  Thanks for the C++ video. More please!

  I would LOVE it if you could implement this suggestion -- We have wasted countless hours on this.

• Historical Debugger and Test Impact Analysis in Visual Studio Team System 2010

  Oct 07, 2008 at 7:23 PM

  Good stuff. I get that the test impact feature will not be immediately available for Native C++ apps (We want it!). Will the historical debugger snapshots work with native C++ code? Please!!

• S. Somasegar (Soma) and Scott Guthrie on Orcas Beta 2: What's in it?

  Jul 27, 2007 at 6:29 AM

  I'll add my support to Martin here.  C++ is clearly become the red-headed stepchild of the VS requirement teams.  Many, many apps are still done in native C++ and C++/CLI offers a somewhat painful approach to the .NET libraries. 
  
  Where's my C++ refactoring support??!!!!!  Unit testing support? MSBuild support?  all missing.
