The hidden costs of a Refactoring
07 July 04 10:49 AM
Looking over our oldest C++ code, there is, of course, a lot of potential for Refactoring. That’s a nice way of saying that it sucks. We learned about Refactoring because we wanted to build good tools for our customers. Along the way, we also realized

PDB always
29 June 04 11:51 AM
In my last post , I wrote: “ Debugging information (pdb). Set with ‘csc /debug[+|-]’. It doesn’t affect codegen, so it’s really not very interesting.” In my opinion, this should always be on, and compilers shouldn’t
