Can WinRT really be used at just the boundaries?
Microsoft (chiefly, Herb Sutter) recommends when using WinRT with C++/CX to keep WinRT at the boundaries of the application and keep the core of the application written in standard ISO C++.
Can Win32 message loops survive being ported to native linux?
I would like to port a large Win32 DLL to native linux in C++. I don’t think I can use Wine for a DLL like mine, because users of the DLL would then also have to be in Wine, and then they would all whine… As a Windows C++ programmer, I don’t (yet) have any familiarity with the GUI front-end services in linux, but if it logically runs on anything like win32 message loops, fonts, bitmaps, invalidation regions, getmessage( ) calls and so forth, it should be a fairly straight forward remapping of my existing code.
Does the windows 8 store only support windows RT?
I’m in a project for creating a game engine and eventually a game, and we need ideas on how to get our game out into the internet.
How to port cli c++ program with GNU libraries from windows to Linux
I need to implement some graph partitioning algorithms for my thesis. I have mostly Windows experience. I would like to know if it is hard to migrate c++ console program to Linux. I want to program it on Windows but I want to test and compile it on Linux as well. It will be pure cli application, with no use of windows APi or anything. I just need to use some external libraries. Specifically GNU linear programming kit and GNU scientific library GSL.
I found out, there are windows versions of these libraries, what does it mean for me?, should I compile it on Windows with windows version package and on Linux with linux package. I would like someone to bring a bit clarity to this, I am really not very experienced programmer, so any advice will help. Also I would like to ask, if there is diference if I use Visual Studio for programming or some other IDE in matter of portability issues. Thanks in advance for any help.
Is there real value in a portable language targeting very different runtimes?
Another question over on SO introduced me to Oxygene, formerly Chrome before the browser of the same name came to prominence. It’s in the Pascal syntax family, but brings in a lot of object-oriented grammar and elements from the C family, notably Java/C#. One of its big advertised strengths is that the language is implemented as runtime-independent; programs written in Oxygene can target .NET, J2EE, Android, or Cocoa, making it a memory-managed language almost as portable as C/C++ is in unmanaged-land.

How do I distribute my scientific software with as few dependencies as possible?
As part of my research, I write a lot of Python and MATLAB code that never needs to be distributed to anyone else. Even if I need to distribute my software, Python and MATLAB, both being interpreted, make sharing it relatively simple.
What are the different aspects to consider when porting code from a single threaded environment to a multi threaded environment or vice versa?
I want to provide some library functionality and a reference application, which will run on a fully-featured, POSIX-compliant platform. The app and library will need bi-directional serial port communication, user input from keyboard, user display to text console, and probably timers.
