• Visual C++ VC2005 %50 Slower then VC2003

  I just migrated a graphics application from VC2003 to VC2005.  After building it, I ran a small benchmark & found that VC2005 code was about %50 slower. The Application does a great deal of floating point and integer calculations.  It also converts doubles to int quite a bit (the VC2003 version used SSE to handle this). The VC2003 version used /G7 and /Ow (which are not available in VC2005) Compiler Switches Used: (vc2003)/arch:SSE2 /c /EHa /FD /GF /GL /Gs8192 /Gy /MT /nologo /O2 /Ob2 /Og /Oi /Ot /Ow /Oy /TP /W3 /WX /Zi (vc2005)/arch:SSE2 /c /EHa /FD /G7 /GF /GL /GS- /Gs8192 /Gy /MT /nologo /O2 /Ob2 /Og /Oi /Ot /Oy /TP ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions exporting exe to work another computer

  ok trying to send a console application .exe to friend to get their opinion on a small program but they can't run it. they are on a winXP pc like me how can I export an exe file to work on someone else's pc -mike If you're using .NET, they need the .NET framework. If you use C functions, you need the msvcrt dlls. If you use MFC, you need the MFC dlls. As you've posted in the Express Edition area, I assume you're not using MFC ( as you can't ), but you're probably using the .NET framework. Which means anyone who wants to run your code needs to install .NET 2.0 first. ...Show All
