Hello guys
Hello guys,
Introducing UWP application support (https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-13295) would be a great opportunity to introduce ARC on Windows :D, once an entire new compiler would rise to add this support. A negative point is that UWP support requires a Visual Studio installation, but the Community edition should be enough to get things done :D

That issue will need some more justification to not be closed right away I fear.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the community edition has certain limitations so would not fit for slightly larger companies. If it requires a full-blown VS license then that's a no-go I think.
I haven't studied the details so I don't know why VS is required for UWP, just saying.
It seems you can target UWP using LLVM, so the entire toolchain could be created more quickly :D, maybe in the 2017/2018 release (in the back of yearly releases) we could have this support.

Sure, but it is a .NET generator, not native codegen....
