[Open Source] Conquer Server C++

[KraHen]

TBH I used it only for fast prototyping a client application, are you implicitly telling that you`ve used it in a server application before and it worked out well? Because if it does I`m switching to it immediately instead of my own winsock/iocp implementation, just for the sake of being cross-platform.

I've used it in a server before, but it never went beyond a base, so I can't say how well it performed because I didn't really test it extensively.

I also used it in a proxy (will probably release it if I find it), which seemed to work perfectly.

I'll probably start some serious development today, just studying for a chemistry exam I have next week.

Looks really nice. Like VS 11.

@bone-you Thanks for the link, I like the syntax highlighting a tad better.

C++ using the Windows API is just C++. C++ using .NET framework is C++/CLI (or the older MC++).

The WinAPI is dependent of the Windows kernel, so it's not cross-platform. It's like using the CarbonAPI on OS X.

For the C++/CLI, as it contains native code within a .NET application, I doubt Mono will be able to run it. So, I would say no.

Making a cross-platform program is a pain... So, using boost is a good idea

Isn't boost supposed to be a part ox C++0x?

Nope. If I recall correctly the new standard does contain some stuff from boost but I'm quite sure boost::asio isn't one of them.

I just want to assure everyone that despite no significant commits yet, this project is very much alive. I'm just busy studying for an exam I have on Tuesday.

Just to clarify, I had real intentions of seeing this project through but the opportunity to work on a source with Hybrid, Ntl3fty et al arose which unfortunately meant that my time constraints were just too much with my other commitments.

If a day comes were I have the time to work on such a project again, I shall revive this thread and deliver as promised.
