Re: Migration from MFC to CopperSpice

Dear Werner, I hope this message finds you well. Just a copperspice user pitching in my 2 cents: My company did attempt a hybrid MFC - Copperspice application similar to what I think is described in the videos you linked. While at first it seemed to work, it was very difficult to maintain and full o...

Re: Moving to C++20

Our company is on C++23 or whatever part of that GCC 13.1 supports and I see more and more companies in the Eindhoven area moving to C++20, so I would say, go for it. I think we can open up a lot of new constexpr, concepts and ranges opportunities.

Re: Windows 10 MSVC compile

Just a few remarks: - building CS with 16GB of RAM on windows is barely enough, for me it cause very long build times, and I sometimes had to re-start compilation when the compiler ran out of heap-space. I think as rule of thumb 16GB is enough on Linux builds and 32GB is enough for MSVC builds. I ha...

Re: A few questions regarding porting from Qt to CS

Also, quoted from google: "UCS-2 is obsolete and replaced by UTF-16, which is more powerful, and more efficient (potentially fewer bytes for same number of characters). UCS-2 is fixed width, UTF-16 is variable width with a minimum of two bytes and a maximum of four bytes. UCS-2 and UTF-16 have ...

Re: A few questions regarding porting from Qt to CS

Excuse me for intruding on the conversation; just curious, what kind of application runs on windows, relies heavily with text-transformation performance and is also CPU resource limited? I would like to understand how encoding strings becomes a bottleneck....

Re: Where's the UI Designer?

Oh, I was hoping to break away completely from The Qt Company after their recent shenanigans :-( I use Visual studio Code to edit and use just the standalone QtCreator for GUI design. It is available here as a separate installer: http://download.qt.io/snapshots/qtcreator/4.14/4.14.1/370/ Greetings,...

Re: Porting application from Qt

I am interested if you think this application would be a good candidate for porting to CopperSpice. If so, what benefits do you think it might give it? Let me first say I may not be objective, because I'm a copperspice team member. That being said I'm also a user and I've used the PepperMill tool t...

Re: Binary distribution page

I was also surprised by the lack of debug information at first, but in practice, it turns out its only really useful to have copperspice debug symbols if debugging copperspice itself. And in that case you can compile copperspice from sources and you have all debug symbols. Also the binaries+debug in...
