For those interested in C/C++ code: That compiler is a C++ compiler, actually. We already used it for the C++ Windows shell extension (e.g for 0.9.3). It can cross compile to 64 bit and 32 bit targets (we need 64 bit target for the shell extension). Of course, it can compile plain old C code as well (Python C extension modules of Mercurial). In case you're wondering: Microsoft's gratis Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition cannot compile to 64 bit targets (at least not out of the box). That's the biggest reason why we only use the command line tools from the SDK. But the compiler and linker are the same as the ones in the Pro VC++ 2008 editions. The SDK C++ compiler is fully optimizing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Tortoisehg-discuss mailing list Tortoisehg-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tortoisehg-discuss
