cin

When I call cin or getline with cin in my Visual Studio 2010 C++ app, I can enter something in the console (as it should be), but the right-click context menu is "blocked". It doesn't appear - this means I and my clients are not able to use copy and paste.

How to enable the context menu in the console with cin?

Compiling python modules whith DEBUG defined on MSVC

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
Python rather stupidly has a pragma directive in its include files that forces a link against python26_d.lib when the DEBUG preprocessor variable is defined. This is a problem because the python installer doesn't come with python26_d.lib! So I can't build applications in msvc in debug mode. If i temporarily… >>> More
