After updating to the newest VS2019 version suddenly our C++ projects that make use of OpenCl and DirectShowFilters\mp4mux would not build anymore.
It's not exactly clear to me what the problem is, but my colleague had to fix headers and add
#include <sstream> It seems to have something to do with the build order on a lower level.
Another option might be to revert back to a previous VS2019 version, see:

Same here, I could have got it in two but I mistakenly used a Black letter again.

I just spent hours tearing my hair out trying to figure out why my accelerometer/gyroscope driver I wrote wasn't working.
It was failing right out of the gate, before the code even got complicated. You know that feeling when you're troubleshooting a problem and you just run out of moves? Arghh!
Turns out, hours after the fact I discover I was implementing the driver for the wrong chip altogether.
It takes entirely different code. Doh!

Now all you need to do is buy that other chip, half the work is completed!

Time for that walk in the woods.
|
|
|
|

I'm surprised that the code even booted.
Or do the two chips have the same ARM core?

A support chip for the actual gyro / accelerometer hardware rather than the main processor, I suspect.

Sorry, the chips I'm referring to programming against aren't MCUs. They are accelerometer/gyroscopes. I guess I could have been more clear.

Just in case anyone was foolish enough to try this.
Setting up Parallels / Win11 on an M1 mac is really, really easy. You'll have a 64bit OS running 4 CPUs @ 3.2GHz and 6Gb RAM by default. Windows 11 is actually pretty snappy in Parallels.
Setting up Visual Studio is the same ol' experience, except for the big DO NOT EVEN TRY INSTALLING VS ON ARM IT'LL BE TERRIBLE subtle warning that pops up. So we ignore that and move on.
Visual Studio 2022 will run, but it runs through x64 emulation. It's not pretty.
CodeProject Build times (80 projects)
- 2 year old iMac i7 / 16GB: 43s
- M1 mac mini 6Gb RAM / 4CPUs: 6m 47s
Kinda rough. But it built and it debugged.
Now let's max out the VM
- M1 mac mini 10Gb RAM / 6CPUs: 6m 47s
A significant gain. But still: ouch. Workable, but painful.
cheers

Significant gain: 2 CPUs more but still 6m 47s ?

I know. Enough time to get a coffee. Every. Single. Build.

Wouldn't it be cheaper (in terms of your time if nothing else) to just buy a Surface?

But... but... but, why?
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Short version: Because!
Longer more thoughtful version:
I find myself, like lots of people, using Zoom and Facetime and message apps for meetings and communication, and much of this is through FaceTime or iMessage. Not all, but enough that I find I'm switching to my phone or iPad for these things, and I often miss notifications. Having them all in front of me on my Dev machine is a huge bonus. I miss less, I can open a link in a real browser, cut and paste, type easier, and just hop on a call without switching devices.
I also love the Apple hardware. I've tried, so, so SO many times to find the ultimate laptop and I've given up. You name it, I've tried it, including stupid expensive ones hailed as the Greatest Of All Time. I think I've managed to break a 10 year old Macbook Air that's been passed around more times than the village bicycle. Their stuff is just really well made. On top of this, battery life of macOS (or anything probably) vs Windows is night and day. Windows on Arm is changing this (though it still has teething issues) and the new Intel chips are certainly catching up on power management, but generally I get 2-3hrs battery life developing on a Windows machine, vs not actually running out of battery in a typical session while using a Mac.
Beyond that there's a need in me to step out of the Microsoft space. It's a comfortable, cozy place to be, but I need to play in the Linux and macOS space in order to ensure not only my skills and knowledge is relevant, but that my way of thinking and designing isn't blinkered.
Now as to the "why" of Visual Studio under Parallels (the core of the question), it's because WebForms. I hates them. With a deep dark burning passion. Except the UI for CodeProject is all webforms and there's not enough of a business case to spend the 6 months rewriting it all. So until Microsoft offers WebForms for .NET 6+ (which won't happen) I need an environment that allows me to developer on .NET 4.8.
