Question: Does reaper's code differ much between win&mac versions?
Asked by Dave (222.90.231.x) on April 19 2011, 1:59am
Reply on April 19 2011, 8:01am:
    Most of it is the same; occasional ifdefs relating to window menus, and other things.. then there's winutilfuncs.cpp and macmisc.mm, respectively, and macprefs.mm, and main.cpp vs Controller.mm, etc. Really just a handful of differences, plus WDL/swell/*.mm. Oh and aunit.cpp (osx) vs dxplugin.cpp (win32), too. and the audio/midi subsystems have their own code on each platform. OK that's getting to be a long list.

    REAPER is written in C++, and compiled with VC6 (win32), VC2005 (win64), and Xcode on OS X. We use ICC for all of those platforms, too. Also, we use WDL (www.cockos.com/wdl).

    Yeah. EC2 is pretty awesome. If you reserve instances in advance, it gets very inexpensive too (for a business).

Question: You said you like a "subset" of C++. What subset is this?
Asked by Rodrigo Dias (189.114.201.x) on April 2 2011, 6:45pm
Reply on April 3 2011, 7:34am:
    Essentially C with classes, limited to single inheritance (and mostly just inheriting from an abstract base class), templates, declaring variables when needed (rather than forcing a new {} block), and using default parameters. That's about it, maybe? No operator overloading, except some basic operator= on widely used classes since the default operators are often unsafe for most classes.
