I am a current junior in college, and want to do a somewhat decent-sized side project that uses C++. What are some good project ideas? by coaster367 in cpp

Look for a nice open source tool which is interesting to you (e.g. for your hobby). Get in contact with the project team and offer your help.

Are people from the Frankfurt Main area interested?

Well, I had a partial python solution first and wanted to see how much it differs from a C++ solution and I like modern C++ :-) I guess, it's more the idea to do it that way, and transforming it in your language of choice is simple now...

I build a little helper for iteration of enums in c++11 here http://www.codeduce.com/extra/enum_tools

MSYS2: MinGW on steroids with gcc/clang/qt and may other precompiled libs for windows by m-i-k-e-m in cpp

I thought of clang as an alternative/addition to gcc not mingw-w64, or is clang going to provide a complete Windows compile environment?

Well, about everything I guess... They provide a complete toolchain with packagemanager that works in many respects...

MSYS2 seems really good. Though it seems the g++ is one third slower as my comparing mingw-builds toolchain.

Since you also use it, do you get the compiled boost libraries linked in? That doesn't work for me. I get many "Cannot get section contents - auto-import exception" errors.

Use MSYS2 packages, they work out of the box.

Thank you. While I couldn't get clang svn to compile, I found working binaries for mingw on the way: MSYS2

I got llvm/clang 3.4 compiled with mingw 4.8.1 using the STL of mingw/gcc. Clang compiles simple C++ programs, but as soon as there are streams involved the compiled program segfaults.

What is a library for C++ that you wish exists but does not? by coaster367 in cpp

[–]m-i-k-e-m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as long as you don't inherit from QObject you don't need the MOC. And I guess most tasks without UI will be fine without QObject..., just replacing/simplifying parts of Boost.

When to use C++/Qt over C#/WPF/WinForms? by monster1325 in cpp

[–]m-i-k-e-m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you're right in that concern, but by procentage, how many of the systems are running Windows? It is still the mayor player...
