Thread: [Quickfix-developers] Anybody still using Visual Studio 6

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

I'd like to stop maintaining the project files for Visual Studio 6 if it's 
not being used anymore.  Are people still using this development 
environment?

--oren 

hi oren,

yes, we are still using vc6 at this moment, and not sure when we will move up to vc7 or 2005 yet. how long do you plan to continue supporting vc6?

thanks,

eng

Support will remain for as long as a significant number of companies are 
using it, and it seems there is.

According to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5/pdf/jdk50_ts_guide.pdf:

"JDK5.0 is compiled on Windows using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 Service Pack 
3. This is an old but stable release of the compiler. If you experience a 
crash with a J2SE-based application and if you have native/JNI libraries 
that are compiled with a newer release of the compiler (VC.++ NET 2002 or 
VC++ .NET 2003 for example) then you need to be aware of compatibility 
issues between the 6.0 and newer runtimes."

Granted, the QuickFIX/J code may reduce the number of people needing the 
JNI version, but as long as you're supporting QuickFIX JNI you might even 
want to consider VC6 the "preferred" compiler for it, or at least direct 
developers to Sun's troubleshooting document linked above.
