Build system maintenance, issuing another silent replacement of v3.99.35

Posted on 01:58 by Unknown
I'm going to have to spend a little time repairing my primary development environment, so figured I'd issue another silent update to v3.99.35. This one self-describes itself as v3.99.36, at least partially. An official v3.99.36 (or v3.99.37) release is coming shortly as well, after the build system maintenance and after a bit more work. I've got a lot accomplished tonight already. I'm going to try to keep my stride. This build system problem, which I won't go into detail (VS2010 is a buggy POS), is just a distraction when I was on a roll.

I swear, I wish I would have never switched to VS2010 in v4. In fact, I ended up having to revert to the older CRT anyway to preserve XP pre-SP2 compatibility ;o. The IDE is nice, but dead slow even on modern hardware. This sudden bug is just... inexplicable. To have to waste time either tracking down the cause, or (first) attempting a reinstall is just annoying. How it could just start I have no idea. No, it wasn't because of anything I did. It has simply mis-configured my solution in a way that results in a blank resource view, despite some 70 projects in the solution. That should never be allowed to occur.

Microsoft: Come on guys, you know what I say about VS2010 is true -- you use it. I'll make a deal with you: You get a service release for VS2010 out, and I'll get PL v4 out. Let's fix the world up together ;). I *do* appreciate your ambitions with VS2010, but something is off on the implementation. You need more optimizations and more safety catches, or something.

This is, at least, a reminder of what can happen when even a good upgrade is released before it has been fully tested. Version 4 brings a lot of cool things, but it isn't worth the upgrade until it has been through proper QA.
