Question: Are you still using Visual C++ 6 to work on the Windows 32-bit version of REAPER? Which VC++ version do you use now for 64-bit Windows?

Reply on October 7 2021, 7:26pm:
    We use VC2005 with ICC now for win32/win64 releases (though usually VC2013 for development purposes). We stopped using VC6 early this year.

Question: I have upgraded to Windows 11 stable version (launched yesterday). Now, REAPER looks better than before :-P (thanks to Microsoft, haha). Now will you switch from Win10 to Win11 for REAPER development? Because obviously a software dev have to use latest tools, no?

    No, if the reed-solomon error correction produces the same bitstream as was encoded, then there can be no variation in the output (unless the error-correction logic causes other components in the CD player to behave differently, which would be a defect in the player, IMO).

    Sure, someone could do it, but I don’t think it would be clever as much as silly…

Question: I want to use EEL2 as an FX processor but I am afraid... EEL was more approachable but that's history; the second iteration was okay too but at some point went way too much... A word or two might help? Am I going to need the dragon book too?
Asked by Gio (94.70.11.x) on September 22 2021, 8:50am
Reply on September 24 2021, 10:51pm:
    It's pretty easy to use from other code, I think? NSEEL_VM_alloc() NSEEL_VM_regvar() NSEEL_code_compile() NSEEL_code_execute() NSEEL_code_free() NSEEL_VM_free() should be enough to get started.

Question: VST3: Do you compile REAPER with C++ exceptions enabled and if you do so have you noticed any performance related issues with various intel architectures?

    We don't use C++ exceptions, but compile our code on Windows using /EHsc. Haven't noticed any performance issues.

Reply on September 24 2021, 10:55pm:
    I'm using a 2014 rMBP now because of work requirements but I do really like my X1 with Linux (if I was on vacation where I wouldn't have to deal with any work, which never happens, I'd take the X1).
