State of module support in VS 2017












2















Regarding Visual Studio 2017's C++ module support -- Is the support good enough such that developers can start converting their code bases to use modules?



I'm interested in refactoring my toy game engine to use modules. I've been reading conflicting info, online, about the status of this feature in VS2017, so I don't want to embark on the change if the feature is buggy or incomplete.



My main motivation for switching to modules is to do away with god damn header files.

I went ahead and tried some tests for adding modules. Nope, this is not, at all, ready. I can't even get the simplest program to compile in the IDE. I have the lastest version (15.9.3, as of this writing).



This is one of the tutorials I tried, for example:

            count number of partitions of a set with n elements into k subsets

            up vote 6 down vote favorite 1 This program is for count number of partitions of a set with n elements into k subsets I am confusing here return k*countP(n-1, k) + countP(n-1, k-1); can some one explain what is happening here? why we are multiplying with k? NOTE->I know this is not the best way to calculate number of partitions that would be DP // A C++ program to count number of partitions // of a set with n elements into k subsets #include<iostream> using namespace std; // Returns count of different partitions of n // elements in k subsets int countP(int n, int k) { // Base cases if (n == 0 || k == 0 || k > n) return 0; if (k == 1 || k == n) return 1; // S(n+1, k) = k*S(n, k) + S(n, k-1) return k*countP(n-1, k) + countP(n-1, k-1); } // Driver program int ma

            A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

            Image
            0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{
