A Brief History of Phoenix

With Phoenix it could be possible to implement an equivalent of VB6's immediate window in VC++.

Ok, we've had the QuickWatch dialog box for a while now (VC4 I believe). But it's restricted to oneliners. And you cannot write say, i = time(NULL), or even i = time(0). Also, QuickWatch cannot be invoked in design mode, i.e. your program has to be running in debug mode for QuickWatch to be enabled.

In some mixed VC6/VB6 projects I've participated in, invariably some VB6 guy would brag how easy and helpful the immediate window pane is for him, and how C++/MFC developers have to manage without it. Perhaps armed with Phoenix the situation could change...

Interesting idea Henry. I must admit that I don't know much about this VB6 Window, but I'll have to take a look at it to see how it could be enabled by Phoenix. I do appreciate the fresh thinking. We do hope to be able to enable a lot of new things with Phoenix.

Altering the executable is a capability that can be used for good or for bad. Piracy is a big issue for us as I'm sure it is for Microsoft. Would you care to comment on safeguards you are considering to prevent unauthorized modification of executables?
Thanks,

Is Microsoft moving away from VC++?
