What compiler do you use?

Since I write mostly C# code these days I use the Microsoft C# compiler that comes with the .NET 2.0 SDK.

I'm currently using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, is that a good choice?

I suspect that what you really meant to ask, as Christian pointed out, is: What IDE do you use? I use Visual Studio Team System for Developers.

Bah, you with your MyXaml, you think too abstractly. I write machine code, onto EEPROMs with a UV laser ;P (or does the UV light erase them, I can never remember :rolleyes:)

Hex?! You pussy. You probably use a normal keyboard instead of one like mine[^] :laugh:

J# isn't a language. Seriously tho, I thought that through several times, J# wasn't even on my radar. I mean, does anyone actually use it ? ( I offended the lead of the J# team by asking that on the MSDN forums once ) The express editions are not VS2005, at least not in my mind. They are C# EE, VB EE, C++ EE, Web EE.

Visual C 6.0 or .Net IDE with compiler replaced by Intel optimizing compiler.

Obviously not. Then you would know that it's not assembly language, it's machine code. ;) Back in the eight bit days I used to write machine code in strings. This is a minimal do-nothing piece of machine code: x=USR(ADR("h`")) It translates into: PLA RTS The PLA instruction (PuLl Ackumulator) pops the number of arguments off the stack. This is of course zero in this case. The RTS instruction (ReTurn from Subroutine) returns to BASIC.

Didn't you know? Marc is a human compiler. He writes in ASM first (on paper(!!)) and then compiles it (by hand !) and writes that in HEX! And MyXaml....its just his hobby;P :laugh: sorry Marc, I know you're not _that_ geeky

Then that leads to the conclusion that the only language there is C++. :laugh:

Ouch! I've used Microchip stuff in the past (ok, mainly their assembler rather than C and it was a tricky b****** too).

I have no idea what I just said. But my intentions were sincere.

For various different projects: Microsoft C 6.0 Visual C++ 1.52c Visual C++ 6.0 Visual Basic 6.0 Visual Studio .NET 2003 (C#, VB.NET, C++) eMbedded Visual C++ 3.0 (ARM compiler) eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 (ARM compiler for CE 4.2, CE 5.0) Visual Studio 2005 (C# 2.0, some C++ for Windows Mobile 5.0 and desktop x86) The choice depends on the project's requirements. We still do some work on DOS-based handhelds, although normally porting to Windows CE or Windows Mobile and then checking that the changes still build correctly for the original unit - that covers C 6.0 and VC++ 1.52. We have an application server written in VB 6.0, and to avoid problems with multiple C++ runtimes loaded in the same process, we build its helper components in VC 6.0.
