Microsoft could get rid of the
employees and office space and just keep the
server along with the AI bots and build the next windows.
Besides all the stuff they user are in the clouds.

My father was a master carpenter and used to make Windows and Doors out of wood - more than 60 years ago, so what's new? Cool | :cool:

Downloaded and tried it...

And you know what? It works very well...

I wish to try how it synchs books between devices... but to do that I'll have to wait the latest update of Windows 10.

I tried to get it going on 2 of my 3 Android tablets--I didn't try my oldest (3rd tablet) as the requirements mention Android 4.4 or above (the other two are on 4.4 and 6.0).

It refused to install on both, with no explanation beyond "your device is not compatible". Exactly why it failed, I have no idea, and this is the extent of the clues they provide.

I actually searched for info after your post and it can work on i-devices too - Microsoft Edge Preview on iOS & Android – Now Available[^].

If only they could get the SSRS viewer to work correctly in Edge! It seems to work, but is missing the print button. (which is kinda important for a report viewew!) Laugh | :laugh:

All the freaking command line switches to the gcc or c++ compiler.

-pthread 
-shared 
-Wl,
-O1 
-Bsymbolic-functions 
-z,
relro 
-fno-strict-aliasing 
-DNDEBUG 
-g 
-fwrapv 
-O2 
-Wall 
-Wstrict-prototypes 
-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 
-fstack-protector-strong 
-Wformat 
-Werror=format-security 
-z,

Duplicates are because I grabbed this from the output of the Python "build" command, which takes a configuration file that defines C functions that are being exported to be called by Python.

WTF are these all? And what's with the commas for some of these? Don't answer that, I don't want to know.

Got the C/C++ code (yes, it's a mix) to compile and link without having to deal with the other nightmare, make files. So now I have a completely C/C++ demo of manipulating the GPIO and SPI to control some LEDs (color & brightness). Jig | [Dance]

How does a compiler make a language superior to another?

One will probably never use most of the gcc/g++ compiler switches you mentioned, and the most common ones like -O[x] (optimization level), -W[x] (error level), -g (debug information) and -shared/static (dynamic link library/static library) are not hard to remember... I think you are better off comparing languages for a specific use case, instead of comparing them out-of-context. Smile | :)
