Va is definitely the most commonly used and most useful plug-in. Along with the upgrade of IDE, VA is constantly developing new versions, and I can't help but experience it myself, so I wrote this article. The following section compares some important recent versions of VA in terms of functions. I believe that the conclusions can help you with the selection of VA versions.
1557: the support for macros is poor and often cannot be prompted. Like all previous versions, the Comment exceeding a certain number of lines is replaced by "...", which is depressing.
1561: The biggest improvement compared with the previous version is that the annotation can be fully displayed, Which is superb. The macro support is also much better. However, in some cases, the macro prompt still has a problem and the Goto fails.Source code(Va seems to have tried its best to solve this problem ). HoweverThis version is definitely the best choice for vc6.
1626 and 1640: the VA toolbar is refreshing; some more user-friendly configuration options are added; but there is a huge bug inherent, autoText will not be automatically prompted when the system is a chinese user name (this problem va provides a work und, refer to the relevantArticle1), and I heard that some user environments have poor support for Chinese (I did not find any problems when using it ). Later I found another problem: when the VC project is opened for one day or longer, all the suggestions and colors will expire, but this MS is caused by incomplete cracking.
1649: fixed some important bugs in 1626 and 1640, including the failure of AutoText under the Chinese name of the system mentioned above and the poor support for Chinese characters.Started support for vs2008. However, after a few minutes of trial, I encountered two very depressing problems. The first is the incorrect Chinese annotation format: (Figure 1: 1561 comments vs. Figure 2: 1649 comments, refer to Article 3)
The second is that the process of highlighting the keyword in vc6 is very inefficient (machine performance is normal). When I open a new file, I first see that the word is black, then it turns into blue or other corresponding colors. This process is clear and unpleasant.
1711 and 1715: It is said that the cracked version of 1715 is not very stable, so we still need to use 1711, but the two problems of 1649 still exist, and there is a new problem,CodeWhen the variable name is not opened for a long time, a wave line is added under the variable name and the prompt is invalid. I don't know whether the problem is cracked or there is a bug, this forced me to continue tracking the new version of VA.
1724 and 1727: 1711 the newly encountered bug no longer exists. After 1649, the Comment problem va official website has been confirmed and is being modified. The problem of low highlight efficiency is not obvious in 2008, that's all. Added a useful new feature: goto can be used in annotations. It's nice to see that :)
1738: the latest version (09.10.01) has not been released for more than two months, including release candidate. There are basically no major changes, and the problem of Chinese annotation format is still not solved.
1903, every time you open a project, it will always take dozens of seconds and a half a minute. In addition, the 1903 version has also experienced a crash, which was never done before. Resolutely switched back to 1738, and experienced the refreshing feeling. The new version mainly adds support for vs2012. We recommend that you do not upgrade it if it is not used.
Therefore, in comparison, I concluded that,If vs2008 is not used, that is, if version 2008 or earlier is used, select 1561, with the least problem and the most stable. If vs2008 or vs2010 is used, you 'd better select 1738. If vs2012 is used, you can only use the latest version that is not very good.. However, we are still expecting tomato to solve these bugs as soon as possible and release new versions with richer features, more stable features and better performance.
