Re: [GD-Windows] VC++ lag

[Dan T. <da...@cs...>]

I'd have to comment on a couple of bugs.

1) Unix newlines. Dear god this caused trouble at my school... We had to
write a game in 10 weeks that had a bunch of stuff.. we used CVS, which is
fine, but one guy checked in stuff from a unix prompt, and merging filled
the code with unix newlines. The guy did something to try and strip them
out(millions of tools that are supposed to work...dunno what he did), but
what we were left with was basically double spaced code. Works, Compiles.
Until you try to edit it. Then invisible newline problems show up, and the
compiler freaks on strange invisible tokens. The compiler should ignore
anything non-alphanumeric/Windows Newline in the source. (read as ignore
anything not displayed in the editor window!). This was an issue with .Net,
havent tried 2k3 yet. (class is over, no point since I don't use *nix)

2) There doesn't seem to be a way to get from the build window to the last
window you were working on. One might *think* Ctrl-Tab would do it, but that
moves you to the next source window based on the last source you were
working on(does that make sense?), so in essence you have to hit ctrl-tab
twice. Kinda irritating.
