Diffrence between V-c++ c++

Hello i heard that Visual c++ and c++ are not the same. Where is the difference?Thank you

C++ is a programming language, on the other hand Microsoft visual c++ is a IDE that you are going to use to code c++ in.

MSVC is a compiler, not an IDE. Visual Studio is an IDE.

If you really want to be a technical asshole

"Microsoft Visual C++ (often abbreviated as MSVC or VC++) is a commercial (free version available), integrated development environment (IDE) product from Microsoft for the C, C++, and C++/CLI programming languages. It features tools for developing and debugging C++ code, especially code written for the Microsoft Windows API, the DirectX API, and the Microsoft .NET Framework."

For example, I use Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express, which just happens to be the name of the IDE and entire application.

@Kallisti thank you very much, I don't know why people on this forum be trying so hard to prove someone wrong.

Btw you forgot to cite Wikipedia as your source. Which as we all know isn't the best source of information (can be edited at any time).

So here I shall quote Microsoft:

Visual C++ in Visual Studio 2010 implemented many features in the C++11 core language specification, and Visual C++ in Visual Studio 2012 added more of them. Visual C++ in Visual Studio 2013 expands this coverage even further[...]

And then in another article they go on to say:

he Visual C++ language and development tools help you develop native Windows Store apps, native desktop apps, and managed apps that run on the .NET Framework.

So yes, I was wrong...but so were you. Visual C++ is the collection of tools located within the IDE that is Visual Studio.

Oh wait...

And that's a really pathetic excuse.

When Wikipedia goes against you, it's always the unreliable source of information that anybody can edit (even though if you had several brain cells you could realize that uncited information on Wikipedia has the [citation needed] next to it)

But when Wikipedia is in your favor, there's no problem using it, right?

@Kallisti pls respond. I'm bored af

This thread is so entertaining.
Popcorn isn't even enough for this.

Go on guys, keep arguing about who has more coding ballz. OP would certainly care.

@OP Visual C++ is usually used for Windows-related applications. From experience, the syntax differs slightly from normal C++ as well as it not being able to support some newer C++ goodies ( constexpr for example ).

C++ is more or less platform independent ( Same as C )

So if you want to build Windows apps, use regular C++ or Visual C++. If you want another OS, you need to use a pure C++ compiler. ( g++ for example )

Wasn't this release in an update some time ago? It had issues but still supported it..

If not it comes out on July 20th

Didn't check if VS2015 supports C++14

constexpr is c++11

FYI, it does (some of them at least): http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vcblog/archi...5-preview.aspx

And it is not supported by VS2013 and only partially supported by VS2015

The Visual C++ Compiler November 2013 CTP update supports constexpr (VS2013).
