Chris,

I have not, as of yet, gotten around to building OSG with VS2010SP1, but in general I would say that if you are using VS2010, get the service pack. It fixes quite a few bugs and there are some drastic improvements in performance. The one woefully horrible piece of functionality is "Go To Definition" which is still pretty slow even after the one time, murderously slow database rebuild. I use 3rd party tools instead. Other than that, I think it is a good set of fixes.

Chris,

I haven't been impressed at all with VS2010.  The IDE tends to crash quite a 
bit - annoying, but not the end of the world.  I did have an issue with 64-bit 
builds, particularly with Qt-4.7.x.  Seems that there were byte-alignment 
issues (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2280741).  After installing the hotfix 
everything seems OK, at least no problems that I could blame on the compiler 
:).  I haven't tried SP1 yet.  I even tried looking for a list of fixes, but it 
seems that MS doesn't want to publish them.

So my suggestion - if there is nothing wrong with the current development 
setup, don't upgrade.  The IDE is slower and buggier than ever.  That being 
said, it is (finally) generating proper binaries in x64 with the hotfix.  The 
last item I forgot to mention is that there are duplicate symbols between 
osgDB::fstream and std::fstream that require the /FORCE:MULTIPLE linker option 
to work around.  Only an issue on 2010 builds.

  VC++2010 SP1 is apparently out now.

  I have one client who really wants to use OSG on 2010 (64-bit even!) and I'm 
curious
about people's experiences with stability. Is 2010 generating good solid 
binaries from the
OSG codebase, or are there still issues that we'll need to see if the SP1 fixes?
