From the Visual Studio system, the last time a big improvement was made to C + +, VS 7.1, that Microsoft has finally greatly improved the editor.
VS 2003 is actually an upgrade to VS 2002. VS 2002 's C + + development environment, in fact, there are very serious bugs, simply can not be used.
Since then, Microsoft's vs 2005, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012 are to play SP1 to use in C + + programming.
To be sure, the three of them, never use C + +.
This two-point loaded vs 2013, before loading, to do some preparation, I used the x64 win7.
First, the C disk space has 8G.
Then, Windows7 hit the SP1 patch.
And then the VS 2013, it's OK to load. Yes, forget to say, IE10 to install.
(a) Start speed: Then, the speed of start is much faster than vs 2010, and I am very impressed.
(b) Can you compile C + +? (The previous version does not play SP1 can not be compiled C + +), after the construction of an MFC project, you guess what?
Actually compiled through!!!
I was so moved that I cried. is not the gates after the return, Microsoft finally have a few in C + +?
(iii) disappeared from VC6. How exactly is the code positioned?
Built a Win32 DLL, and then to the definition, I moved again, as if really have!!! It should be excitedly spread.
With this, I've decided to use vs 2013 in the future.
There is also dialog box programming, VC6 CTRL + D (tab order) and CTRL + T (preview) Two keys are coming out.
Only compile the current file Ctrl+f7 also came out, I really tears ran.
Gate, Chinese New Year is good (fast to Labor Day). Incoherent.
Advice also like me in the VC6, with silver to buy I5, loaded WIN7 + vs 2013 Bar. The new era is coming.
(iv) Many new features

One is to have an execution diagram.
There are more peek code, function, and do not leave the current position, you can see what the declaration looks like. Not bad.
======================
The place of disappointment is still there.
Visual Studio 2010 interface, out for many years, but now in MFC, still do not open this framework to our ordinary programmers.
Visual Studio is not much, but the interface framework, but a leap.
There are many new features,
For example, the window should float out ,
The window is no longer divided into the workspace window or the toolbar window.
The current project is still not supported:
The framework after VS 2010 is like this:
Notice that there are multiple boxes in the middle, meaning that the toolbar window can also be docked to the work area.
It was floating out.
Microsoft is too stingy.
Microsoft's strategy, is the most advanced things, must wait for others to develop, only open.
Helpless.
If anyone knows where there is such a framework, let me know. Remember that there are several C + + interface libraries.
