Yes, but I don't think it emulates the compiler it is installed on top of. Does it? I suppose Intel 8.0, for instance, is always VC7.1-like in the language support, even if installed on top of VC6.
That's right.
What "remains" of the underlying VC installation, besides the linker etc., is the (non-)standard library. But that is detectable with certainty.
Is it, how? That's the key issue as I see it.
[...] Yep, good idea, it just doesn't solve this issue :-(
Is this ironical? I really think it is a good idea! :)
So do I, no irony intended. Thanks, John.
