How Visual C++ 2005 is compliant to C++ standards regarding Windows CE?

Wednesday, December 28th, 2005

Recently, I started small investigation to find out what may I expect from the new Visual C++ 2005 compiler if I’d like to start using it for Windows CE software development. Yes, I’m still using eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0, but Visual C++ 2005 seems very interesting for me. After my investigation I’m convinced it would help me to solve many problems related to low ANSI/ISO C++ standard conformance of the older eVC++ 4.0. But let’s start from the beginning.

DecimalDegrees Python module

Small things also make us happy. Because I like small software gadgets, I created DecimalDegreesPython module. Frequently, we – GIS and GPS users – have to convert coordinates between various formats. Here comes DecimalDegrees module which wraps all those higher math calculations into four Python functions. I hope this will be yet another small gadget which make someone happy :-)

How to use STLport with eVC++

STLport LogoToday, I published my first article on the Pocket PC Developer Network.
My article is a kind of crash course explaining how to use STLport with eMbedded Visual C++ compiler and IDE to develop Windows CE applications. I hope it will encourage new Windows CE software developers to try STLport. I found this STL implemenation as a great piece of software, useful in my daily work and more complete STL implementation than that shipped with eVC++ SDKs.
