Actually, formatting C++ files are hard. VSCode comes with a default formatting style - backed by MS C/C++ or clang-format. Also, most of legacy code are not formatted using standard tools, so you will get a lot of git differences when you have changed a bit of code, and pressed Alt+Shift+F; this is a key difference compared to Python. The solution was to format all C++ files before touching the code - so an automated tool was necessary. ...

Actually, makefile can be used on Windows. I have used them when intergrating SuRun with Go. remove directory pwsh -nop -c "rm -r -Force ../build-ig || 1" create directory pwsh -nop -c "mkdir ReleaseUx64" || true launch makefile in MSYS2 msys-surun: pwsh -nop msys.ps1 -ucrt64 -c "make _msys_surun" _msys_surun: # commands in MSYS2

IDE Since we are on Windows, the preferred compiler is Visual C++. You can install Visual Studio, it provides the compiler and an integrated editor. Note that Visual Studio Community is free even for commericial use. See License for more details. If you prefer other editors, you can just install Visual Studio Build Tools. installation details In addiction to the standard “Desktop Development with C++”, you need also install component ATL and MFC. This is true for both Visual Studio Community and Visual Studio Build Tools. ...

Currently, when building SuRun, I always get this error: A quick search finds that it’s been deprecated since VS2008. BscMake is no longer used by the Visual Studio IDE. Since Visual Studio 2008, browse information is stored automatically in an .sdf file in the Solution folder. But there are a bunch of them in the project files: So I want to remove them programatically. ...

Seems that it’s frutile to seek a C++ interpreter on Windows. CERN’s root project already created a cling interperter, but it doesn’t provides a Windows version. Also, it’s using old LLVM libs. see also this blog post. the newer one is clang-repl, but it’s still unstable…the build instructions is also frightening. Well, clang-repl can be executed if you installed LLVM prebuilt exes. however, you will get weird errors due to CLANG not shipping Windows libs, and rather use Visual Studio’s libs. ...

As with any modern C++ applications, the support for GCC and MINGW is deprecated. you must install Visual Studio first. This is the same with npm and flutter packages. Building SuRun contains both 64bit and 32bit parts. to build you can use config “x64 Unicode Debug|x64” and “SuRun32 Unicode Debug|win32”. As with decisions, I have dropped Release builds. You can just run surun_build in the python venv, it calls the build script. ...
