Since you're OK with manual updates, I'm happy in principle with having IDE-related files in the repository as long as they are not unreasonably large. But there's something weird going on. Why would special files would be needed for syntax highlighting or Git integration or even integrated debug

Of course I do. :-) A CI gate might be very helpful for this purpose as a further step to keep those files aligned by avoiding regressions IMO but for the time being we'd perfectly fine with manual updates. > On 26/nov/2013, at 03:19, "Ben Pfaff" wrote: > > You realize that no one else is goi

We're not switching to CMake. If you have something to generate the XML files you need, we'll check that in. On Mon, Nov 25, 2013 at 11:23:37PM +, Alessandro Pilotti wrote: > Visual Studio is the "de facto" IDE for Windows development. It provides all > the features you'd expect from a moder

Visual Studio is the "de facto" IDE for Windows development. It provides all the features you'd expect from a modern environment (integrated debugger, refactoring tools, Git integration, syntax highlighting and a gazillion additional features) and in general it allows to be a few orders of magni

Coming from linux, all I looked for while testing was whether I can create executables that can be run and debugged. I could do both. (For debugging, I had to add an additional option to cccl to create the symbol file). Alessandro, As Ben mentioned, please explain what is that the project file

They're the equivalent of makefiles for Visual Studio. Without them you can't use the Windows-native development tools so while it's not impossible to work it certainly makes life more difficult. On Mon, Nov 25, 2013 at 1:53 PM, Ben Pfaff wrote: > What I'm trying to get at is, what are the "solut

What I'm trying to get at is, what are the "solution and related projects" good for? The non-Windows world does fine without them, so if "make" can work on Windows then why is the result "basically useless for any practical development purpose"? On Mon, Nov 25, 2013 at 04:50:40PM -0500, Ethan Jac
