Oh, yes! VC++ has bugs! But it has caught a couple of stucts that were
predeclared as classes, for example. The code is being run through another
compiler, which has it's own set of warnings, so VC++ might catch some real
issues, if not bugs.
Almost all of the khtml/kjs/pcre now compiles. VC++ has only one major feature
deficency. Apparently macros can take variable arguments in GCC. Not so in VC++.
Otherwise, the changes needed to compile were really minor. Apple has done a
great job of sparating KHTML from Qt.
I am considering using VCF to implement the guts of Kwq for Win32.

Can anyone recommend a C++ GUI library for Win32, one that supports lightweight
controls?
