Is it time to say goodbye to VC6 compiler?

Question

Of late I\'m facing the issues that points finger to VC6 compiler.

Few of them are:

1. A function-try-block doesn\'t work. Related Q
2. in-class constan

Answer 1

Quite frankly I can hardly understand why you wouldn't buy a modern computer and switch to Visual Studio 2008.

VC6 has got a deficient STL, poor C++ standard compliance and obsolete GUI.

You shouldn't let your competitors use better tools than you.
