Here is my 6 Kb VS2019 Mini version using TCLib.

This is the same code i am using with all the programming languages from my soap box.

VS 2019 version

Code: [Select]
#include <windows.h>

constexpr auto CLIENT_WIDTH   = 640;
constexpr auto CLIENT_HEIGHT  = 480;

struct PROP {

Thanks Patrice!

I need to add /Gy back into my build strings James.  Thanks for mentioning it.  At one time way back I used to use that, but somehow I dropped it and forgot about it.

I wonder why you don't use the VS environment, and only the command line.
The VS editor is really very good, and could help to detect the most obvious bugs.

The VS editor is really very good, and could help to detect the most obvious bugs.

I seem to create a lot of real small test code programs Patrice.  It seems that over the years, as Microsoft's Visual Studio got bigger and bigger, slower and slower, I started to gravitate to using Notepad.exe to write a few lines of code, and just build from the command line, rather than opening Visual Studio, creating a project, navigating the cumbersome IDE to set compiler and linker options, changing Visual Studio defaults I didn't like, filling in preprocessor equates to stop Visual Studio from complaining about deprecated functions I nontheless insisted on using, etc.  Another thing is, I only use laptops - sometimes old ones, which sometimes just about choke on the heavy burdens Visual Studio puts on them.  It really is SLOW for me at times, unless I'm using my newest and fastest laptop.  I know you always use cutting edge hardware cuz you are into advanced graphics, but like I said, Visual Studio sometimes barely works on my older machines.  I tend to develop on several machines at a time - always changing from one to another. 

My first version of Visual Studio I ever used was from Visual Studio 98 - Windows 95, 98 and Win2000 times.  I used that a lot for many years.  I had the Enterprise version of it, which came with tremendous COM/OLE documentation.  My next version was Visual Studio 2008 (I used to joke that I'd get a new version of Visual Studio every ten years, whether I needed it or not).  That's where I started having difficulties with it and started to gravitate to command line building, although I used the IDE a lot too - especially for my big projects at work.  I needed VStudio 2008 because it had support for embedded systems (the handheld data collectors running Windows CE at work), and I never quite figurred out how to get the command line compiling working for that.  So I do use IDEs some.  Really though, I tended to use the 'lighter weight' IDEs such as CodeBlocks or Dev-C++, simply because they ran better on my slower hardware.

As I mentioned the other day though, I was tickled (english colloquialism meaning it made me happy) when I found it was easy to use my TCLib from within the latest version of Visual Studio.  I've used Visual Studio more in the last week than I have in the last five years!  But then I'm mostly using it on a brand new high end laptop which is pretty fast.  If I had to pick out my biggest complaint about Visual Studio I guess it would be all the directories/folders it creates and all the bloat in the extra files it needs.  Philosophically I'm a 'minimalist'  in just about everything I do and think, so command line compiling kind of works for me.

One project I'm hoping to undertake this winter is work on my own lightweight IDE.  Started on it last winter, but got hung up on splitter controls.  Somehow or other I've never used or coded these, so I'm only about halfway through understanding the code and how to code them.  I think it would be cool to have my own I made myself.  I want a tabbed interface with a project/symbol explorer though, so I'll need a splitter control. 

I'd be curious why James does command line building, if he cares to jump in.  Far as I know, it's just him and I.  Not too many coders seem interested in it.  By the way Patrice, I tried your "MINI" template.  That's neat.  Saw some stuff in there I never used.  Thanks for posting it.  It came in 5,120 bytes for me.  Had to add this to it though to get it to build from the command line....

Code: [Select]
#ifndef UNICODE
   #define UNICODE
#endif
#ifndef _UNICODE
   #define _UNICODE
#endif

Reason is, and getting back to our discussion of why I do a lot of command line building, the Visual Studio IDE sets by default the character encoding to wide character, and when one builds from the command line there are few if any defaults set - that would kind of defeat the purpose of command line compiling/linking I guess.  So it interpreted everything to the 'A' versions of the WinApi functions, which threw all kinds of errors for me.  That's why in all my code I use the preprocessor directives above.  I know that James and I are the only folks in the whole world that do command line compiling - everybode in this world and likely beyond uses Visual Studio, so I use those #defines.  I use the #ifndef (If Not Defined macro) because when I post code in online forums I know everybody is using Visual Studio, and if I simply put....

#define UNICODE
#define _UNICODE

...that would generate duplicate preprocessor warnings, cuz, like I said, the Visual Studio IDE already defines it.

By the way, I finally looked up WinDev on the internet.  I really didn't know what it was, although over the years I heard you mention it many, many times in the PowerBASIC forum, Jose's Forum, and here.  I even wondered if it was a product of yours which you sold/marketed.  So I checked it out.  Must be from a French company?  Anyway, there was no english version of a Wikipedia article on it.  I checked out their website - didn't check out the price though.  I'm assummng it's fairly high.  The code you posted using it looked reasonable to me though. 

A couple weeks ago I was checking out the Purebasic website.  I was kind of thinking of buying it so as to have a 64 bit basic compiler that actually generated it's own binaries rather than using C or C++ as a back end.  I was really put off by the syntax though.  It didn't look to me anything like any version of basic I ever saw.  I was so turned off by it I immediately dropped the idea of buying it.

I'm guessing WinDev must be something like old pre-.NET Visual Basic, or Delphi?  Shares same market niche I guess?

Fred,
  I use the command line because I don't write c/c++ source. I use BCX. I don't like the c++ nomanclature but love the power. I started with Atari BASIC then Visual Basic 3,4,5;  PowerBASIC; My bc9Basic fork of BCX; and now just BCX. I LOVE BASIC.
I only have Vusual Studio Community 2019 BuildTools on my current everyday coding box. No IDE
I do have the full 2022 preview IDE but have not used the ide.
I have another machine with the 2019 IDE primarily to run Patrice's code.

I have batch files for all the compilers I test.
Visual Studio
Nuwen distro
TDM
Clang
Mingw
Pelles
and shell to them from the BcxAdp editor.
Code: [Select]
$ONEXIT "ASTYLE.EXE -pn $FILE$.CPP"
'Unicode
'$ONEXIT "ULEX.EXE $FILE$.CPP"
'$ONEXIT "VC_Only.EXE $FILE$.CPP"
'$ONEXIT "VSCPP.BAT $FILE$ -m64 con"
'$ONEXIT "CLANGCPP.BAT $FILE$ -m64 con"
'------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'ansi
'$ONEXIT "NUWENGPP.BAT $FILE$ con"
'$ONEXIT "TDMGPP.BAT $FILE$ -m64 con"

My verison of TCLib and it's includes produce slightly larger exe's. I needed to tweak it a bit so it would play nice with BCX.
My version of your Demo2 -> 6656 Bytes

I am not a real minimalist. It's fun but I really like all the cool stuff in the STL regardless of size. Like Patrice I always (until Win 11) have a powerful machine to code on. Range based for loops of std:c++11 and now I am investigating the std:c++17 <filesystem> not to mention vectors and regex.

I found out another item that I think might be MS only?
The way BCX works all the translated Basic -> c++ code is place in one file. Similar to PowerBASIC's Dead Code Removal, only the functions called are added to your exe. Classes are always included in the exe and so is c++ code that is Included (#include myfile.cpp). I find this far superior to creating a MyOftenUsedCode.lib and linking to it. If I need to make changes or add code to MyOftenUsedCode I don't have to recompile.

WinDev is very special, it is not a programming tool, but a development tool using p-code and a huge framework written in C++.

Its main advantage is how fast you can build a complex project, even without knowledge of the Windows API.

This is a press button development tool intended to be used by... anyone.

The main problem of WinDev is its statibility, because they produce a new version each year to please their shareholders, but this doesn't give enough time to the programming team to fix the recurrent bugs.
But when you are a real programmer you can work around the bugs, and speed up the code with your own DLL(s).

I have written amazing applications with it in monthes, that would have taken years with any other tool.

WinDev is the first development tool in the "french speaking countries", there is also an english version and even a version in Mandarin for the chinese market.

BTW: Have you seen the dedicated section I made for you ?
