Does Visual Studio support data cache operations?
Reading through some great presentations on low latency computing. They had a reference to IBM's XL C/C++ compiler data cache operation __dcbt (Data Cache Block Touch) for their cell compiler. The operation loads a block of memory into L1 cache. Does Visual Studio (or G++ or Intel) have similar functionality for Intel Processors? If so...

What is the reason of _tcs prefix for common string functions in Visual C?
Visual C++ CRT has several _t prefixed functions for both unicode and Ansi compatibility in the same source. So strcmp becomes _tcscmp, which I could never remember easily. So what is the hungarian notation meaning of _tcs and why Microsoft choose the way it is now instead of just simple prefixing, like strcmp -> _tstrcmp ? ...

Why are there so many libraries in MSVC and why do I have to recompile the code again
In every platform there are various versions of a given library: multi-threaded, debug, dynamic, etc.. Correct me if I am wrong here, but in Linux an object can link to any version of a library just fine, regardless of how its compiled. For example, there is no need to use any special flags at compile time to specify whether the link ...
Is the Team Foundation Server 2010 of the VS 2010 necessary for doing personal projects?
Basically what the title says. I am looking to install the Visual Studio 2010 Beta for compiling personal C++ projects.

List of things to check to prevent VC++ applications from showing fatal error message boxes
Every now and then there's a strong need to write a program in such a way that it never (really never) shows an error message as a message box. For example it can be a program run inside a daily build - if it hangs with a message box the daily build hangs. Unfortunately VC++ runtime has a lot of ways to trigger message boxes when indica...

Converting C-Strings from Local Encoding to UTF8
I'm writing a small App in which i read some text from to console, which is then stored in a classic char* string. As it happens i need to pass it to an lib which only takes UTF-8 encoded Strings. Since the Windows console uses the local Encoding, i need to convert from local encoding to UTF-8. If i'm not mistaken i could use MultiByteTo...

c++ float to bool conversion
I'm looking at some 3rd party code and am unsure exactly what one line is doing. I can't post the exact code but it's along the lines of: bool function(float x) { float f = doCalculation(x); return x > 0 ? f : std::numeric_limits<float>::infinity(); } This obviously throws a warning from the compiler about converting float->bool, but ...
