Something we have been told on 2VS2008 is the trick with upgrading projects is not to led VS2008 doit , simply open the proje files in a tex editor and manually change the version number from 2005 to 2008 version

It seems there are a few issues with optimization settings from converted projects. Some of our projects that were showing as having /O2 optimization, where actually being built with no optimization. We just decided to re-create the projects in VS2008 and have not had any issues since then. - Donny On Sat, Apr 4, 2009 at 11:30 AM, sherman wilcox <[email protected]> wrote: Slightly off-topic for this mailing list but here goes. For the Windows users out there, those of you that are using or know of developers using VS2008 - any comments? Problems, benefits, pros/cons? My project is using VS2005 and has been for a while now but I'm considering switching to VS2008. In my case there's only one reason - the /MP benefit. /MP enables parallel compilation. For multiprocessor or multicore systems it's a real performance increase. I'm not talking about parallel builds of multiple projects but compiling multiple modules in the same project(s) in parallel. On VS2005 /MP is undocumented but works, mostly. It's a tremendous performance boost. However, I've ran into a PDB corruption issue here as of late. Error C2471. Not sure why it's suddenly happening as I've been using /MP for a long while now. I believe Gordon warned me this could happen and it has. I phoned Microsoft about this and they said that /MP is unsupported on VS2005 and I have no recourse but to either not use that feature (no way - too fast) or upgrade to VS2008. So, I may be upgrading. However, there are numerous developers on my project and I want to have a clear understanding of any potential issues before moving forward. I'll be purchasing a copy to test but I'd like to hear from the list. _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
