Comments

One other note, after installing this and restarting VS2012 Up1 my color scheme changed. I have the MS theme editor and it unexpectedly switched from the Light theme to a Red theme.

So close to being useful.  We don't use OpenCV but would love to get the natvis description for some common MS formats such as:

Gdiplus::Bitmap, Gdiplus::Image, WIC Images, HBITMAP

Have to agree with some of the comments about the UI. If I had to use something like this daily I'd go nuts. Metro UI may be okay for music/news/games apps but something as simple as this starts to reveal the limitations of this UI language. There is just way too much functionality buried under rocks. The application loses it's discoverability in exchange for a barren UI.

Have to agreewith KawaiiGardiner. Why no updates for Desktop devs?  When will we be able to safely and speedily mix D2D and WPF graphics on the desktop?

"For better or for worse, desktop apps are desktop apps." -- this quote makes me sad. It says to me that no investment has been made to improve the desktop developer's life. As a scientific data visualization tool, our app has MANY windows (and needs all of them). We would LOVE to do XAML UI in C++ with our desktop app. A Windows Store app makes no sense at all for our app. What do we desktop devs have to look forward to?  We use WPF now (from C++/CLI) but it's just too darn slow and uses .NET but only so that we can use WPF + XAML.

Great stuff. Looking forward to the book.

Excellent. Looking forward to the VMMap video.

I see the trivial example above mentions begin() and end() so the ans. to my Q #2 is probably Yes. cool.

This looks excellent! A couple of simple questions:

1. Will the generated collections (ex. powers) work with rage-based for?

2. Will the generated collections work with the function form of begin and end? ex. for (auto i = begin(powers); i != end(powers); i++)

It seems that I'll need to to_vector() if I want to use those but just wanted to confirm.

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...")
