I'm trying to view the disassembly of my code as explained in the article below:
How to view the assembly behind the code using Visual C++?
But I can't seem to find the disassmebly option:
Any help on this issue would be most appreciated.
Additional Notes: It is a win32 debug project in C++.
I use MS Visual Studio 2012 and I see option "Go to disassembly" when debugging code. I suppose that such features can depend on Visual Studio edition. So see your version and refer to http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/compare-visual-studio-products-vs.aspx
Also, maybe some options of IDE switch this option, see http://http.developer.nvidia.com/NsightVisualStudio/3.2/Documentation/UserGuide/HTML/Content/PTX_SASS_Assembly_Debugging.htm

Good day
Requesting can you please let me know available Static Code Analysis Tools in Visual Studio 2017 and possible best practices etc.
For C#, Visual Studio includes "FXCop". See Microsoft Docs: Overview of code analysis for .NET in Visual Studio.
For C++, Visual Studio includes /analyze as well as C++ Core Guidelines checkers. See Microsoft Docs: Code analysis for C/C++ overview.
For third party solutions, there a number of options you can find with a quick Internet search.
Not sure if I can ask this sort of question here, but I am interested in viewing the source code for mainCRTStartup() in Visual C++.
Did Microsoft made this source code available?
Have a look in %VSINSTALLDIR%VC\crt\src\vcruntime\, where %VSINSTALLDIR% would be something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0 for Visual Studio 2015 for example, so different depending on which version you are on, etc. The function you are asking for is in exe_main.cpp
If you are running through the Visual Studio debugger, a good tip is to hit F11, or in the main menu bar go: Debug -> Step Into, that will start debugging and break at the top of main. Then you can just go up the call stack to mainCRTStartup and the it should be able to find the source for you.
I am trying to use Microsoft visual studio IDE to run my c++ code, however, when I go to create a project, I do not see the option for a c++ project. I tried reinstalling the program to see if I could somehow install the package/extension however it just won't seem to come up.
The only templates that appear are in c# or f#.
If someone could please lead me into the right direction so that I can fix this, it would be great. Thank you.
I don't see any mention of C++ in the release notes.
According to this post on MSDN, there is no C++ support in the Mac version of Visual Studio. It contains links to instructions for using Visual Studio Code, as well as the option to install a VM running Windows.
Apparently Visual Studio Code supports C++ projects, since it can execute external tools. The Microsoft Visual C++ build tools are free for Windows, but I don't think there is a version for the Mac, so some other external compiler is necessary.
I saw questions similar to this for older versions of Visual Studio but not this latest version. I am following a course on Lynda.com and basically the instructor is trying to use C++ in a pure form that will look the same for students using a visual IDE on Mac. Anyway, the instructor sets up a Working project for teaching the language constructs and such. He right clicks on the project in Visual Studio and under C++ there is Pre-processor section.
I should note that he is using VS 2013 Community Edition. I have a more fully featured version of VS 2015. I don't see that option for defining pre-processor directives on a "project" basis. MS won't let me install 2 copies of VS 2015, but maybe it will let me install VS 2013.
Still, I hope my question makes enough sense as to what we are trying to accomplish, so that I can find the option in VS 2015 Enterprise.
Thanks,
Bruce
You would need to at least add a .cpp file to your Source Files folder in the the current project that you right will click. That should give you the option you are looking for in Visual Studio 2015.
Right click on your project. Select Properties. You should see the below menu where you can navigate to Configuration Properties > C/C++ > Preprocessor.
This is how I see it in my Visual Studio Enterprise 2015.
Is this what you're looking for?
I have already created a simple source code analyses tool for C/C++, but I wanted it to be an extension or tool for Visual Studio 2010 and 2012 editions. It is written completely in C++. For this reason I created it using "Create an Add-in using Visual C++/ATL" option. And then under "Choose Add-in Options", I have some problems. I don't know which one or ones to select. I want it to have a name and icon under Tools section, but on the other hand, my code analyzer can be used from command line too. If someone can advice me which option(s) to select there I would be glad.
My second question is this, when I have opened a source file in Visual Studio, and if I go to Tools -> MyAddin, and press it, I want it to do its job and analyze the code, and show the results in the output section below.
And my last question is that, if I have a C/C++ project with few files let's say, and if I right-click one of the files, I want to see my add-in and be able to execute the add-in from there, not to go always to Tools -> MyAddin. And also the same thing to work if I right-click the project, then it should analyze the all files and show the problems in the output section.
Please note that I have already created the source code analyzer tool in C++, and I have it as a DLL. I can also use it in Linux from terminal, and if I want I can also create a GUI for it, which I plan to do later. But I'm not that much experienced with Visual Studio, especially about add-ins, that's why I need your help. As you can see my first question is a kind of advice, but I think my second and third questions require some source code. I know that it is very hard for you to give me some help without seeing my code, but if you would help me somehow I would be glad.
For Visual Studio 2010 and 2012 you should consider using Extensions, not Add-Ins. It is a new technology introduced in Visual Studio 2010. Extensions come in form of a VSIX packages and are automatically installed in all applicable versions of Visual Studio. If you are not targeting Visual Studio version prior to 2010, I strongly recommend using extensions.
From this point of view, I will not answer any of your technical questions about Add-Ins. Here are a couple of links to start using extensions instead:
