"The VS2005 SP1 release is a big win for our customers as it contains more fixes than any previous Service Pack." :wtf: What previous service pack and which recent VS version is he talking about? VS 2002? VS 2003? VS 2005?

Good news - and they have fixed the std::iostream memory leak. I hope they release this soon.

Excellent screen name: you deserve a 5 just for that. BTW you're not really Lindy Chamberlain are you? :-) home

What they meant to say is... "VS2005 was released long before it should have been. If we had just gone ahead and axed support for VC++/MFC on it's release, we wouldn't be here now fixing bugs in crap we no longer want to support. This service pack is the last time we're going to do anything for the legacy programmers, and they can kiss our monopolistic asses before we give them anything else. Yeah, they may consider this a win, but wait until we release VS2007 without any unmanaged development support at all. Besides, when we release Vista in 2008, they won't be able to write unmanaged code."

At that rate it's going lets say 2010.

I was looking for the issue you reported about CTime::Format - I think it was you - and couldn't find it. I could have sworn I'd submitted it to the Product Feedback Center. You could still submit it at http://connect.microsoft.com/[^] and see what they think. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

Yep. And also these stupid "safety" warnings :jig: Now if they would only replace their crappy Dinkumware STL with something faster like STLPort, life would be very good.

The only one I've come across is when using std::equal - to workaround it I have used stdext::unchecked_equal.

It had already been reported when I found it, and it's even listed in the Libraries section of the service pack. I'm not sure what's been done though in terms of addressing the problem. It's COleDateTime btw...

Even with std::copy it would complain.

Is it actually that much faster. I use STLPort on Linux and Solaris, and have used it once on Windows, though I never bothered benchmarking.

In the IDE list: Visual Studio 2005 just disappears (nagual) Visual Studio ...disappears?? That's quite some bug. (BTW - nice comment from Marc: VS2005 was released prematurely and was a big loss for our customers as it contained more bugs than any other product release. Ouch!) cheers, Chris Maunder

It happened to me twice. I found it later, hiding under a rock.
