Solution 7

Very briefly:
C++ is a computer language.
VC++ is an IDE sold my Microsoft, which ships with MS's C++ compiler, for the Windows platform.

In a broader sense:
MS ships many APIs, libraries and classes (in C and C++) (MFC, the Windows API) which provide code for GUI and greatly speed up common tasks while programming for the windows platform. These libraries / classes / style of coding is generally associated with the Visual Studio IDE (since most windows programers seem to prefer VS).

C++ is a programming language, VC++ is Microsoft's implementation of that programming language. So ideally VC++ would implement a superset of the C++ standard and provide ways of turning all the non-standard bits off. To be fair it hasn't been doing too badly since 2003 at that last goal.

I dont think its fully correct to say MS's "implementation" of C++, after all it follows the C++ specifications.

Solution 2

There is no difference, or rather, there is no such thing as VC++. Microsoft Visual Studio or Visual C++ Express are often misnamed as VC++. However, they are just IDEs (Integrate Development Environments) which allow you to edit and develop programs written in C++. Take a look here[^] for more information.

Well, VC++ is probably used to mean MFC and the like.
