difference visual c++ turbo c++

hi, what are differences among the 3 C++ languages? Can they share the same header files?

Turbo C++ is very old,forget it! an it doesn't support NT based operating
system like win 2k,xp.
C++ is a common language for most system.
Visual C++ is for Win32 systems and that can be used to create window based applications.
VC++ is the best with MFC.

well there isnt much difference. Visual C++ is a proprietary language of microsoft. but u should only look for ANSI/ISO standard C++. but yes if u want to do some work with MFC then u should use Visual C++

 

[Pinczakko]

well, C++ is a programming language, and it's implemented in the form of an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) like VC++ or Turbo C++, sometimes actually not a full-blown IDE but just the compiler :wink: . Based on my experience I can tell that VC++ is just really needed when you want to take full control of windows features/facility in your development using C++ within windows, or you're developing a "system-tool" for windows, out of that purposes, you can choose whatever IDE you like.

what about borland C++? can i use borland C++'s header file in Visual C++ programming?

Yes , if you using ansi standard , some is different you must see the manual book or grammar of language.

it depends !!!!!!!!!!

if u want to use borland C++'s header files in VC++ that are a part of the standard C++ then yes it is possible. but u cant use borland specific header files with VC++. like u dont have a conio.h in Visual C++. u should look at the manuals of both the VC++ and borland if u are having compatibility issues.

i would say just stick to the standard template library of C++ and just learn the real ANSI/ISO standard C++. but u are free to use any header file from any vendor provided that u know the issues associated with its use

Use Borland Builder, (C++) very fast and productive, and follows the ANSI/ISO standards. M$ have their own non standard extensions. There is nothing visual about M$ Visual c++ and MFC. MFC is just wrappers around the most convoluted spagetti crap code your ever likly to see! Write "Hello World" with M$ Visual C++. It compiles up to a 500Kbyte monster?

borland C ++ vs visual c++
borland is easy to use
visual C ++ is popular

o... I've missed DOS programming

You still can use turbo c++ as long as you supply right headers, libraries to the turbo c++ compiler.

Since that is a mess (companies which sell these softwares make them so) then nobody moves to the next level.

C++ is very flexible. All you need is a compiler, and link the compiled objects. What decides if application you compile is e.g. NT compatible are headers, libraries etc. you insert or link to it.

In a lot of cases VC++ for example links something you have no idea of indeed was linked.

TURBO c++ is a compiler to work in 16 bits machines on DOS. So forget it.

Visual C++ is a microsoft tool, so it has many bugs, it was made to work on 32 bits machines.

bc++ is easy for beginnar to study.
vc++ is complex but powerful for software design.

Visual C++ helps the device driver interface in Windows, whereas Turbo C++ cann't help for such interface.

 

[btbass]

Microsoft recommends the use of C, NOT C++, for writing device drivers for windows. C++ is a resource hungry language. C is lean and mean.
The win DDK has it's own C compiler, no other tools are needed.

the difference is that they are not compatible with each other...hmm but thats a simlirarity actually. Dooh!

 

[hill]

All those tools work. Given me anyone of those tool, that what I would say if given a project.

C++ is a prog language, VC and TC are only two compiler or IDE, i think you should use VC beacuse it is newer than TC
