MSVC++net versus Codewarrior 8
by Willbkool · in Technical Issues · 03/19/2003 (9:59 pm) · 2 replies
I need some advice on whether to buy MS Visual C++net standard for $55.95 or Codewarrior learning edition for $56.95. I can also get Codewarrior V8 academic for $107.95. I can also get Visual studio.net for $100.
I have taken classes in C and C++ as well as pascal and Basic, and I need something to compile Torque since my old compilers won't do it. I figured I would get some academic priced software while still in college. I can get 3DS Max 5.1 for $460.
I would appreciate any guidance on which compiler to buy, and should I get 3DS max for that price?

Visual C++ .NET has no compiler optimization.
Codewarrior isn't bad, but if you're going to be using third party libs and tools, most assume that Visual Studio will be used on Windows -- very few support other environments out of the box.
Also there are some static .lib file linking issues that can bite you in the ass if you want to use things like D3DX that aren't DLL based, but have no available source. These work out of the box in Visual Studio (of course), but may require rather kludgey workarounds to get working with other compilers...
