Can I use Visual Studio 2010's compiler with Visual Studio 2008's Runtime Library?
- by BillyONeal
Hello everyone :)
I have an application that needs to operate on Windows 2000. I'd also like to use Visual Studio 2010 (mainly because of the change in the definition of the auto keyword). However, I'm in a bit of a bind because I need the app to be able to operate on older OS's, namely:
Windows 2000
Windows XP RTM
Windows XP SP1
Visual Studio 2010's runtime library depends on the EncodePointer / DecodePointer API which was introduced in Windows XP SP2.
If using the alternate runtime library is possible, will this break code that relies on C++0x features added in VS2010, like std::regex?
