Several of my REALbasic projects make use of shared libraries I've created
using C++ (for speed and efficiency reasons). I've been using an older
version of CodeWarrior to compile both PPC and x86 libraries. Since its been
working fine, I haven't bothered upgrading or changing.
But I want to investigate options before CW breaks on me. And I would like
to convert some of the libraries to actual RB plugins.
I know on the Mac the choice is Xcode. What are RB developers using to
produce Windows and Linux plugins and shared libraries?
As a side note...I started thinking about this today when testing some C++
code that executes 10x faster on my Mac (1.8 GHz G5, 3-4 secs) than on my PC
(1.8 GHz P4, 35-40 secs). The code is essentially identical cross platform
and I'm not using vector units. I started wondering if CW was just less
adept at producing optimized x86 code and it really showed in this case, but
then found myself wondering what compiler I could try. I'm not that familiar
with the other C++ offerings on Windows.
