small bug and 2 suggestions 2.90 beta7

[nitex]

hi pelle,

i haven't tested this with the beta 8 yet because i don't have internet at home. i'm using win xp prof sp2.

bug:

if you have the ide open and a project loaded and then create a new project from file->new->project... the addins get loaded twice (dgb/rls switch).

suggestions:

it would be nice if one could define either #UNICODE or #_UNICODE to compile for unicode and not both. currently one needs to define #UNICODE for windows headers and #_UNICODE for tchar header to compile successfully.


when enabling the optimize for size option one could optimize

#define APP_CLASS _T("MyAppClass")

to something like

LPTSTR lpszAppClass = _T("MyAppClass");

so the string would be only once in the final executable.


thanks for making such a nice developement environment.

Hello,

if you have the ide open and a project loaded and then create a new project from file->new->project... the addins get loaded twice (dgb/rls switch).

This should be fixed in beta 8.

it would be nice if one could define either #UNICODE or #_UNICODE to compile for unicode and not both. currently one needs to define #UNICODE for windows headers and #_UNICODE for tchar header to compile successfully.

I havn't checked this lately, but at least before, you needed to do this for the Microsoft compiler. I have done it like this for 'compatibility' reasons. But I agree, It's a bit annoying...

when enabling the optimize for size option one could optimize

#define APP_CLASS _T("MyAppClass")

to something like

LPTSTR lpszAppClass = _T("MyAppClass");

so the string would be only once in the final executable.

Yes, 'string pooling' doesn't work for wide character (Unicode) strings, because they are handled in a different way than 'normal' strings. I will look at it. Not for v2.90 though.
