Is Visual Studio the same thing as Visual C++ -
this 1 of questions utterly obvious except uninitiated. so, @ risk of losing "geek card" i'm afraid must bite bullet , ask:
is visual studio same thing visual c++? need install visual studio express, example in conjunction wit visual c++? visual c++ provide things need (particular respect assembly programming) don't come visual studio express?
the question might seem basic not require answer. alas, that's precisely why feel need ask it, can't find answers online. results "assume" user knows answer question, can't seem find explicitly states 2 applications provide precisely same functionality or not.
thank time.
visual studio refers microsoft's integrated development envrioment, includes support c++, c#, basic, , several other languages.
visual-c++ refers c++ specific component of visual-studio.
one can install visual-studio (express, or other version), , install only c++ component. installing "visual-c++" component of visual studio.
also, take note microsoft have been known take small liberties adherence c++ standard. example depreciating many standard functions in faviour of 'secure' versions. (although can disabled). implementing c++17 features.
as such visual-c++ language can considered different enough c++ superset degree. visual-c++ command-line compiler (msvc) packaged separately, 1 doesn't need entire visual-studio package use it. that no longer case , are avalible again
in short - visual-c++ part of greater visual-studio package, , included in modern versions of visual-studio.
