Disabled Settings in the Development Environment

Although the Alpha edition of Visual C++ supports most project settings supported by the x86 edition, because of architectural differences it does not support all settings. Unsupported settings appear dimmed.

You can examine project settings by choosing Settings from the Project menu and then clicking a tab.

Disabled settings in the environment include the following:

• Incremental compiling. In the Customize category of the C/C++ page in the Project Settings dialog box, the Enable Incremental Compilation check box is disabled.
  
  
• Minimal rebuild. In the Customize category of the C/C++ page in the Project Settings dialog box, the Enable Minimal Rebuild check box is disabled.
  
  
• Calling convention. For the Alpha platform, in the Code Generation category of the C/C++ tab in the Project Settings dialog box, only the _ _cdecl item is listed because this platform has only one calling convention.
