For a while I heard the MSVC++ is not ANSII complient but a few months ago I was using borland 3 at school and saw in the settings that you can change the compiler options for ANSII standard compiling or borland or another one.. So I went home and looked in the settings for MSVC and I was able to disable the extensions that microsoft enables automaticly. I set it to use ANSII standard and I am just wondering if its a true 100% ANSII complient compiler now? I am sure you can make MSVC ANSII complient, I dont see why, they should allow you to make it that way. Thnx

It''s ANSI, not ANSII. You mixed it up with ASCII

Anyway, I''m not really that familiar with MVSC, but I think it is. Otherwise, less people would use it.

No you can''t. Most of the non-compliant features aren''t often used, but it''s annoying when you do want to use them.

VC++ .NET is more compliant than VC++ 6, but it''s still not 100% compliant. Newer versions are reputed to be even more compliant.

If I had my way, I''d have all of you shot! codeka.com - Just click it.

If MS extensions are disabled in MSVC++6, then the provided Standard Library will not compile. Yes, it''s true that MSVC++6 is not fully ISO-compliant, but that''s true to some extent or other of all C++ compilers. The question is whether the non-compliant parts cause you a problem. They do me.

I found the same thing in .net. I reckoned enabling the more standards compliant settings could only be a good thing, but then I couldn''t use the Win32 API or standard library.

Oh well!
