They call it background compilation. Basically, it means that IDE compiles code as you write it. It gives more information for code analysis, so you've got better IntelliSense / code audition.
This feature is also used in JavaScript (though it's called active data or something).

"Had MS not interested in C++, they would not have added C++0x new features, the MFC class wizard, code analysis, auto complete for includes, CLI and things like that."
MFC isn't C++, its all or nothing approach is irrelevant when there are more flexible ways.
Why does the addition of CLI show that MS is interested in c++?! CLI is .net!!

From an earlier Post of Mine (ca. Feb).
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Smiller/Local%20Settings/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/Content.IE5/YHRATLVN/VS2010RCReadme%5B1%5D.htm#Supported%20Operating%20Systems
Contains the following:
2.4.2.3 IntelliSense does not work for C++/CLI
IntelliSense is not available for C++/CLI in this release of Visual Studio. However, all browsing features (ClassView, GotoDef, Find All References, Navigate To, etc) are still available for C++/CLI.
To resolve this issue:
There is no workaround. IntelliSense for C++/CLI is not supported in this release of Visual Studio.
Another not-so-subtle nudge towards 'their' C# .

The workaround is to buy Visual Assist.

What does that mean? C++0x features are useful in real-world scenarios - you can now "move" objects instead of copying them (think returning large objects from functions, or adding them to containers). Also there is nullptr keyword which helps avoid silly overloading bugs when NULL is passed. And additions to the Standard Library? Regex, hash containers, Unicode support? Parallel Patterns Library? Windows 7 support for MFC? See here for more[^].
Of course, you can always say "I don't care for any of that", but it still does not mean there are no improvements.
VC++ 2010 is the first release since VC++ 7.1 I am really excited about. In fact, I may even get ViEmu[^] when it is ready and start using Visual Studio for coding again

I would say the opposite. It's used for in exotic cases for people that like playing around with the language. Really, all that stuff just makes my code less portible, because it's likely that the compilor on the other platforms don't support it.

What is exotic about avoiding copying a huge object when returned from a function? Or a portable regular expression library? Or support for WIndows 7 controls? Or anything that I mentioned in the post above? All real-world scenarios if I know anything about real world.

Gnu gcc supports even more C++0x than VC++2010. If you want to port some Linux code to Windows in a couple of years from now, you'd better have as much C++0x in VC++ as possible, or you'll be in the same situation as C programmers who can't port gcc programs to VC because the later has poor support for C99.

That stuff is not c++.ox, which is what I was talking about.

What version of gcc? Not all platforms have the latest gcc.

The support for Win7 controls is not C++0x. Move semantics, regexp, hash libraries, etc are.

Yep I have heard rumors that the new IDE would be able to track code even without a "solution" (just ike SourceInsight) and debugging is already pretty decent, so the only missing thing is a good code editor.
Of course, it is still way too slow and bloated for my taste, but my employer has provided me with ridiculously powerful dev machines, so I'll swallow that.

Really! Any more info on that?
I have not been able to install RTM because RC does not uninstall yet.

FIRST COMMENT FROM YOUR REFERENCE LINK:
Tuesday, April 13, 2010 11:10 AM by jps
# re: Visual Studio 2010 is Now Available
I expected not to have Intellisense for my C++/CLI files (cf. tirade launched against Boris by many)
but... in RTM it seems that Intellisense does not work for ANY C++ file (regardless of /clr setting) IF there is a /clr file used in the project.
This was not the case in the beta I tested and adds insult to injury.
Doh !

That's C++/CLI, not C++. If you care for C++/CLI, that's your fault, sorry

Shucks.
I didn't realize all I had to do is only be interested in the right stuff and all would be well.
My bad . . .

That would be lovely. There are enough bug reports on the MS Connect site for VS2010 SP1.
|
|
|
|
|
Terry Leeper said they're already working on SP1 to include all the things that they've missed to include in release.
But he was very reserved to say anything more on this topic 
|
|
|
|
|
That would be awesome. Can only hope it is released soon.
