CopperSpice and embedded applications
Posted: Sun Oct 25 2015 3:04 pm
Hello everyone,
I cannot decide which C++ GUI application framework to pick to learn. There are just so many. And then as a contractor I found myself working in an embedded environment where Qt was being used. I had come across Qt before but was put off, as many are, by moc. But the chance to learn a GUI framework on the job made me think again. And now I have come across CopperSpice which looks like a significant improvement on Qt. Congratulations on getting rid of moc! But what plans are there for CopperSpice to be used in embedded environments? I am thinking particularly of WINCE and WEC.
I realise this would most likely involve Visual Studio and that VS support is a bit of an issue at the moment. Can anyone explain why? I heard that SFINAE is an issue but aren't there parts of boost that use it? These compile with VS as far as I know. Would it not be possible to temper the use of SFINAE to fit in with the limitations of VS?
