This has nothing to do with MUD programming, I expect, but I thought
I would comment here - I have used both environments, but only at the
C level (I'm not into C++).
Running gcc on Unix with warnings enabled is about the same as running
VC 5 with warnings enabled - both will tell you about all sorts of
little things. I always run with all warning enabled. If you do your
Unix makes under emacs, it will also take your cursor to the place
of the errors, one at a time. Thus, the two environments are very
similar in that sense.
One difference I have noted is that VC 5 has a bit more trouble dealing
with errors - it usually has extra error indicators after the initial
error, that don't help at all. From a compiler-writer point of view,
it seems to not have an internal 'error' type, and thus issues complaints
about types after a bad symbol, and those are quite unneccessary.
