Category: None Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Borut Ražem (borutr) Assigned to: Borut Ražem (borutr) Summary: Upgrade Visual Studio projects Initial Comment: Current sdcc Visual Studio project files are for Visual Studio version 6.0, which more then 10 years old (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Visual_Studio#Visual_Studio_6.0). I propose to upgrade them to Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition. Benefits of Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition vs. Visual Studio 6.0: - it is free (like free beer) - it is more standards compatible (long long data type, __FUNCTION__ macro, ...) - no need to have both Visual Studio 6.0 (for sdcc) and Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition (for newer projects) installed - ... Probably my proposition has also many weaknesses... Let me know what do you think! Borut ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Maarten Brock (maartenbrock) Date: 2009-05-12 18:35 Message: Yes, one can open a MSVC6 project in VS2008. But if we stay with MSVC6 it is harder for developers to maintain the project, because they need to have access to MSVC6 or mess with the project files manually. And I vote not to upgrade to the next version asap, but only after discussion on the RFE tracker or developer list. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jesus Calvino-Fraga (jesusc) Date: 2009-05-12 17:52 Message: Can you open and compile projects made for MSVC 6 in 2008 Express? I am sure it doesn't work the other way around. If we switch to 2008 express this year, should we switch to a newer version (2010) as soon as it is available? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Maarten Brock (maartenbrock) Date: 2009-05-04 22:34 Message: I sometimes use Visual C++ 6.0, sometimes 2008 Express and sometimes 2008 Pro. I have no problem with upgrading. I have proposed this already in the past (was it 2003 or 2005?) but one of the other developers opposed it.
