[Cppunit-devel] msvc7 support

[Andrey M. <mel...@si...>]

Hello

I created VC7Outputter class to match format expected by Visual
Studio.NET (see VC7Outputter.h in attached ZIP file). The class require
CompilerOutputter::m_stream to be protected instead of private, so don't
forget to modify CompilerOutputter.h

Also it seems there are no valid config for VC++ 7. How can I help with
them?

Compiler detection: #if _MSC_VER >= 1300 (VC6 had _MSC_VER > 1000)
Output format: #define CPPUNIT_COMPILER_LOCATION_FORMAT "%p(%l): error :
" (VC7 had simply "%p(%l): "

Messages in VC6 format are also parsed and clickable in VC7, but they
don't appear in Tasks window, only in Output window.

Also all CPPUnit classes are put in global namespace despite namespases
are supported and CPPUNIT_HAVE_NAMESPACES is defined.

Can somebody try to compile the attached project in Visual Studio .NET
and see if the new class is better than we have now with
CompilerOutputter?
