This is a short post since I'm in a hurry.
I was just wondering if there was way build and compile my c# project into an exe and dll so I can share them without having to have 6 files I need to run it outside of vs code, if possible, I'm new to the whole programming thing, so I don't really know what I'm saying or doing, to you I may just be talking nonsense.
thanks internet!

I tried searching it up but nothing, and I'm new to this so I don't really know that much, but I do know about this site.

I'm trying to implement a Suffix Trie to search strings using C++ for a programming assignment. Now I've started coding things with Vim/Ubuntu on a virtual machine (since I run windows), partly because it's encouraged by our lecturer not to use IDEs and compile things manually, and partly because the VM is too slow to run a decent IDE anyway.
But my program has grown quite large and I need to debug things. I've grown quite fond of both Eclipse's and CLion's debuggers in the past, so I decided to copy and paste my workspace to a windows directory, just for debugging.
I’m using C++11 and MinGW as a compiler, and programs run just fine:
But when I tried to debug the program, I got the message:
So I decided to try debugging in Eclipse instead. This time it sort of worked, but it isn't treating my std::string objects as strings, but rather as just objects with lots of properties in them:
This is obviously a problem since I'm dealing a lot with std::strings. Now I've read online that this is related to the whole pretty printers thing I got with CLion, but I haven't been able to find anything which tells me how to get things set up with MinGW. I'd appreciate any advice.
I was trying to figure out the same thing few days back. After Googling for hours and compiling all the stuff into one place, I have created a detailed post which might here.

I have some troubles with Embarcadero C++ Builder XE3. When I run my program, I have an access violation BEFORE the first instruction in the main...So I can't debug, it's very weird.
I used to have this problem a couple of weeks ago : I was forced to full rebuild the entire projet (even if only a comma was missing...) and the violation didn't occurs anymore. I solved it by ckecking the option "Disable incremental link".
I was very happy, but today, the problem is back, and whatever I do, my application crash before enterring in the main ...
Does anyone have an idea ? It's a big project, so I can't really post an exemple because I don't really know what to show...
Thanks a lot
Probably you have a bug in a constructor of a static global object. These constructors are all executed before getting into main(), so this can happen without being a runtime environment or a compiler bug.
As you told, debugging these is difficult as you probably don't know which class is failing, and probably you don't have exception info also.
As you say it's a large project, perhaps you have to resign to use large project toolkits/methodologies to deal with these problems, like unit testing and lean methodologies (like scrum or the like).
With the information you post I think this is the most can be said.
In C++ I can achieve the same results by using a shell script where I write all the compilation instructions. So my question is:
Are there any good reasons in using a makefile?
Do you have any examples to demonstrate this?
One of the main reasons to use a makefile is that it will recompile only the source files which have changed since the last time you built your project. Writing a shell script to do this will take much more work than writing the makefile.
Wear and tear on the keyboard.
Preventing it taking ages to compile everything
Easier to change between compiling for debugging and production
As to examples - See most GNU projects wrote in C/C++
You might want to take a look on autotools. The will make a Makefile for you while they can help with code portebility as well. However, you have to make some relatively simple template files that the auto tools will use to construct configure file and a end user can run ./configure [options]; make. They provide many features to your makefile that a end user might expect. For a good introduction see : http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/brief_introduction_to_gnu_autotools
Let's say you do write a shell script. It will work and you will be happy. You will keep using it every chance you get. You will add parameters to it to allow you to specify options. You will also notice that it re-compiles everything, all the time. So you will then try and make it smarter so it only re-compiles the files that have changed. What you will be doing, in effect, is writing your own make system.
That's fine as long as you had a good reason to do it. For example: Existing make solutions don't do X well, so you wrote one to solve that problem.
You, however, don't have a problem that cannot be solved by an existing make system (or at least, it sounds like you don't :) ). The problem you're trying to solve has already been solved. Just read up and use the solution - a make file :)
So, to answer your question, yes, there are a lot - most of which you won't be aware of until you need the functionality. When you do, you will be grateful it already does what you want.
It's the same logic you apply to using libraries in code.
OK, I have been looking for weeks now. I have looked through Eclipse and Visual Studio, but all the plugins for this sort of thing is for Java or C# and not C++. ReSharper does not work, nor does NArrange. How in the world can I sort my methods in a .cpp file without having to go in and cut and paste by hand (there are hundreds of files and there is not enough time in the world to do that)?
I have tried writing the program myself, but I am not very skilled in scripting and have zero experience in Python. Creating the program in C++ I believe is possible but if there is a simpler way then I would like to know.
I didn't use it but take a look at Regionerate. It is a plugin for Visual Studio. I am sorry, I saw now that it is also only for C#. I thought that it worked with C++ too. Sorry.
I have looked for a long time and talked to many co-workers and am now convinced we should not do it. Too many headaches and one of the developers said he didn't want that because of the way he writes his code. Thank the lord he said something!
If anyone else is looking to do this and trying to find a solution, I would just like to let you know that it is not worth the trouble. If you HAVE to do something like this in C++ then you have got to do it by hand. Pray that you don't have to.
I realize you've concluded you don't want to do this, but just in case someone else does, you might be able to use Doxygen to do the "heavy lifting" and extract the functions from your source.
You can configure Doxygen to extract the code structure from undocumented source files.
You'd then have to extract starting line numbers of the functions from Doxygen's output, sort, and reassemble. It gets messy because you might need to introduce forward declarations.
Thankfully you decided against doing it.
I have a project that I am trying to fix from a guy that left (let go) from my company. He has violated every fundamental principle of software engineering, not using source control, not backing up the source before you make more changes, etc. etc.
I need to make changes to an application that is in the field and I don't have the original source code, but I have an executable. What I need is a decompiler that will decompile a Visual Studio 6 C++ application and provide me with some type of source code. Anyone got any ideas.....
Well there's the Decompiler from Hex-Rays: https://www.hex-rays.com/products/decompiler/
It is pretty good for the fact that it is creating C code from Assembler but it works pretty good. It's also pretty expensive
Edit: Additional note it is combined with IDA Pro the pretty well-known disassembler from them. That already can show you a lot of information in the combination with the decompiler it is even easier to reverse code.
I've used RecStudio (rec22) and IDAPro to try and decompile a C++ project, together they probably wouldn't have been enough to do the job I had except that I worked out the demo project the program was based on so they gave just enough info that I could make something like the same project again.
In the end one other thing I was doing was compiling code that I thought matched and checking that I got the same result in the decompiler.
Good Luck.
Decompile to what - assembler?
There isn't anything that is going to give you meaningfull C from an exe.
