VC++ V-express Edition
Our entry-level package is the VC++ V-express Edition. It is
designed to work with the latest version of VC++, known
variously as Visual C++ 2005 and VC++ V8. For a real bargain,
you can download the free version of VC++ V8 known as the
Express Edition and combine it with our V-express to make
a remarkably powerful and economical C++ compiler.
V-express consists of:
- our fully conforming Standard C++ library, packaged to work
with the Microsoft C library (This differs only in small ways
from the library shipped with VC++.)
- the C++ components of TR1, omitting the special math
functions and the C99 library
- our library of code conversion facets for Unicode and other popular
character encodings
- our library of allocators for node-based containers
- our portable multithreading library compatible with Boost and
Posix threads
VC++ V8 is one of the most conforming compilers available today.
Couple it with V-express and you get the most useful additions
to the Standard C++ library, all in one convenient package.
If, after using the V-express package for a short time, you decide you want to license additional developers, or you want the rest of the Dinkum Compleat Libraries,
we will credit your license fee toward a more comprehensive
Binary Edition or Source Edition.
