An example of _MSC_VER is 1933 to represent version 19.33 of the Microsoft C/C++ compiler, and of _MSC_FULL_VER is 193331630. The Visual product version, such as "17.3.4", designates the version of Visual Studio with which version 19.33 of the compiler was packaged. Then there is the Microsoft Visual C/C++ Runtime Library version, e.g. "14.3".
Microsoft's Windows Runtime is based on Component Object Model (COM) APIs, and is designed to be accessed through language projections. A language projection hides the COM details, and provides a more natural programming experience for a given language. For C++ developers, C++/WinRT is the officially supported, modern C++ language projection.
Regular C++ (with COM-specific discipline) can also be used to program with WinRT components, [11] with the help of the Windows Runtime C++ Template Library (WRL), which is similar in purpose to what Active Template Library provides for COM. [12] In 2019, Microsoft deprecated C++/CX in favor of the C++/WinRT header library. [13]
Visual Studio 2019 icon. On June 6, 2018, Microsoft announced Visual Studio 2019 (version 16). [219] On December 4, 2018, Visual Studio 2019 Preview 1 was released. [220] On January 24, 2019, Visual Studio 2019 Preview 2 was released. [221] On February 13, 2019, Visual Studio 2019 Preview 3 was released. [222]
This runtime library is used by programs written in Visual C++ and a few other compilers (e.g. MinGW). Some compilers have their own runtime libraries. With Version 14.0 (Visual Studio 2015), most of the C/C++ runtime was moved into a new DLL, UCRTBASE.DLL, which conforms closely with C99.
Microsoft Foundation Class Library (MFC) is a C++ object-oriented library for developing desktop applications for Windows. MFC was introduced by Microsoft in 1992 and quickly gained widespread use. While Microsoft has introduced alternative application frameworks since then, MFC remains widely used.
The Microsoft Visual C++ compiler can produce both managed code, running under CLR, or unmanaged binaries, running directly on Windows. [2]Benefits of using managed code include programmer convenience (by increasing the level of abstraction, creating smaller models) and enhanced security guarantees, depending on the platform (including the VM implementation).
The standard dialogs and controls created by the Visual Basic runtime library all have "Thunder" as a prefix of their internal type names (for example, buttons are internally known as ThunderCommandButton).
