-
- Please note we have two meetings this month. We
- congratulate Microsoft on incorporating STL into

- Visual C++ 4.0 STL Support and Compiler Optimization
- January 12, 1996
- 6:15 to 7:00 p.m. Using STL in Visual C++ 4.0
- 7:15 to 8:15 p.m. Compiler Optimization in Visual C++
- 8:15 to ? Q & A
-
- Advanced Language Features in Visual C++ 4.0
-
- Visual C++ 4.0 includes many C++ language features that are contained
- in the 1995 ANSI/ISO Draft Standard. Among these are:
- > increased compliance in the area of templates
- > "New-style" casts
- > Name Spaces
- > RTTI (Run Time Type Identification)
- > HP's Standard Template Library (STL)
-
- The focus will be on Microsoft's implementation of these areas, such
- as: compatibility with the Draft Standard, extensions, restrictions,
- portability concerns. It will not be a tutorial per se.
-
- Compiler Optimization in Visual C++
-
- Performance measures used to evaluate C++ compilers often focus rather
- narrowly on traditional C code or on aspects of C++ which do not
- significantly impact the performance of real world code. This talk is
- an attempt to examine the performance of Visual C++ by looking at
- performance on particular idioms which are part of the common practice
- of C++ programmers. Particular optimizations will be discussed, along
- with a comparison of Visual C++ 4.0 to previous versions of the
- product.
-
- Presenters will include Jonathan Caves and Kevin Miller. Jonathan
- Caves is the Microsoft VC++ developer who implemented templates and
- NameSpaces within VC++. Jonathan is a Microsoft alternate voting
- member on the ANSI/ISO C++ committee that determines the C++ language
- standard.
-
- Kevin R. Miller is a program manager in the Visual C++ Product Unit,
- where his responsibilities include compiler components and RISC product
-
- editions. Prior to joining Microsoft, Kevin was Director of Products
- at Kuck & Associates, a producer of compiler optimizers for the Unix
- market.
