- And here's why:
- VC4.0 *still* can't do STL.
-
- That's right. It may be able to compile it, but you can't debug any
- code that uses STL (VC will crash the system), or profile any program
- that uses STL, even if you don't profile STL (VC will crash the system).
-
-
- Another thing:
- The VC4.0 environment is nice, but the compiler sucks. I have this horrible
- problem with it where it won't compile virtual function calls properly. We
- must delete all object files for a class and its subclasses in order to get
- it to work. This means deleting object files manually for every compile. A
- nice environment is one thing, but when the compiler doesn't work, it's
- GAME-OVER.
