i'm not sure how comprehensive they are since i'm fine with C++

2018-01-10 01:36:40 UTC  

Id argue that

2018-01-10 01:36:41 UTC  

well kinda

2018-01-10 01:36:51 UTC  

i am used to both

2018-01-10 01:36:55 UTC  

the way UE is set up is kinda like Qt

2018-01-10 01:37:31 UTC  

Qt has their own preprocessor which makes using it a bit easier

2018-01-10 01:37:42 UTC  

@Grenade123 Visual Studio is often dumb, but it is still the best C/C++ IDE I've used

2018-01-10 01:38:24 UTC  

I do love it's debugger but have had little opportunity to look around to see if there is anything better

2018-01-10 01:38:56 UTC  

The only alternative I know of for C/C++ is Eclipse, and I don't even use Eclipse for Java, which is what it was designed for

2018-01-10 01:39:15 UTC  

I suppose there's Xcode for macs, but I'm not an Apple fanboi, so I've never used it

2018-01-10 01:40:16 UTC  

But dear God visual studios. "Oh, you want to reference that other project? Please follow this launch squence for the space shuttle to set that up. Oh, and I'll still randomly not find it in the middle of your work day."

2018-01-10 01:40:46 UTC  

Maybe I didn't have problems with that because the only external projects I referenced were through NuGet

2018-01-10 01:41:22 UTC  

I wasn't talking about external projects, I was talking about two projects in one solution.

2018-01-10 01:41:33 UTC  

which, for some reason, I always read as "New Get" until just now when I realized I could read it as "nug(g)et"

2018-01-10 01:42:01 UTC  

Then again, the code base at work is a mess and more just thrown together over 30 years than actually designed.

2018-01-10 01:42:34 UTC  

But what do you expect from something coded on the back of a truck doing the thing the program is designed to support

2018-01-10 01:42:45 UTC  

Ah, the plight of working on a "mature" code base. You want to say it's good because it's "mature", but at the same time it's got so much cruft in it that you can't really say that and sleep well at night

2018-01-10 01:43:16 UTC  

CLion is good

2018-01-10 01:43:28 UTC  

Qt Creator if you want something lighter

2018-01-10 01:43:55 UTC  

At my first job after graduating there was a project they wrote nearly 15 years before I started there, and everybody was so afraid to touch the code for fear of breaking it that we never added features. At the same time, though, nobody was willing to write a new solution

2018-01-10 01:44:38 UTC  

Really, if it was as easy as it is in c# to reference things, and the intellicense was as good, I wouldn't mind c++ as much.

2018-01-10 01:44:53 UTC  

The main discernable feature of the project was an XML parser that took a configuration file and turned it into a query engine, but poorly

2018-01-10 01:45:31 UTC  

@Grenade123 it is, VC++ has GCed reference types

2018-01-10 01:45:50 UTC  

`void foo(std::string^ bar);`

2018-01-10 01:46:39 UTC  

I meant the actual set up. Once I've told visual studios that yes, I am not lying, there is C++ code there, I have not problem.

2018-01-10 01:48:05 UTC  

Then again, I haven't done much c++ work in visual studios that wasn't in vs10. It was 10 in college and then this code base at work is stuck with 3rd party stuff that only complies in 10.

2018-01-10 01:48:15 UTC  

oof

2018-01-10 01:49:11 UTC  

VS has always sucked hard when it comes to C++

2018-01-10 01:49:36 UTC  

they don't fully support c++14 yet iirc

2018-01-10 01:50:09 UTC  

Don't exactly like digging through the project settings to manually set the folder where the referenced code lives. Which then needs to be manually changed should you need to move it's physical location

2018-01-10 01:51:42 UTC  

I demand a video

2018-01-10 01:51:47 UTC  

Where Tim takes off his beanie.

2018-01-10 01:52:31 UTC  

There was a picture of him with no beanie.

2018-01-10 01:53:01 UTC  

Think it was in an ama on 4chan.

2018-01-10 01:53:15 UTC  

Is he hot?

2018-01-10 01:53:54 UTC  

@Dionara <#398973785426100234>

2018-01-10 01:55:43 UTC  

Why so much C talks..

2018-01-10 01:55:50 UTC  

Java master race!!

2018-01-10 01:55:58 UTC  

💢

2018-01-10 01:56:05 UTC  

Hehehe

2018-01-10 01:56:12 UTC  

Oh my god lol
