• Visual C++ LINK.EXE BUG: /OPT:NOREF option doesn't work!

  My program contains static objects whose constructors are supposed to run at the beginning of the program, but otherwise those variables are  unreferenced . The problem is, when I put these variables into a .lib file, they get completely optimized away and never appear in the resulting .exe! My understanding is that /opt:noref is supposed to cure this, however, it has absolutely no effect. I also tried __declspec(selectany) on the vars, al ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) TextureCoordinates in Sep CTP

  I have ported the chess project from Beta 1 to Sep CTP and there are some problems in rendering the chess pieces. Every chess piece has now some "holes" in it, and the "head" of the pawn is the most obvious. I have created a sample project and it seems that the problem is because of the texture coordinates. because if I use a solid color brush, the "holes" don't show up. When I started the project, a friend of mine designed the 3D models and e ...Show All
