The recent thread about the NT port of Squid and MSVC++ makes me
wonder..

Is there anything today in the MSVC++ builds which is not supported by
the MinGW builds? Or in short, what is the benefits of the MSVC++
build compared to the MinGW build? (put aside that the MinGW
toolchain are slightly harder to install and use)

This is an interesting question.


MSVC++ environment is a commercial product, it seems to be a bad C++ compiler and lacks some build tools like awk, but currently it's too the reference compiler for the Windows platform and some other OpenSource projects are build using it (Apache, MySQL, OpenSSL, OpenLDAP, OpenOffice).

Is (Apache, MySQL, OpenSSL, OpenLDAP, OpenOffice) C++ projects ?. Do they use templates ?

With my IBM's VAC3 I can't even compile things like

template<class C>
Range<C>
Range<C>::intersection (Range const &rhs)
{    Range<C> result (XMAX(start, rhs.start), XMIN(end, rhs.end));
    return result;
}

Compiler wants Range<C>::intersection (Range<C> const &rhs)
