> VisualAge C++ was one of the best incremental C++ implementations i ever saw, and even it did not get to this level.

How did it compare with Energize C++?

I only know both from magazines during those days, even though someone uploaded an Energize video to YouTube.

In regards to VisualAge C++ I think only those of us that were active back then can remeber anything about it. Besides the magazines I had with the product review, I never seen much information being posted on the Internet.

I never used Energize C++.

I remember looking at the code to visualage C++ when i was at ibm about 12 years ago.

It was fairly impressive (it built a database of the program with fairly fine grained dependency tracking), at least to younger me.

I don't know if people today would have thought it was a mess or not :)
