Hello, I’m Pat Brenner<\/strong>, a developer on the Visual C++ Libraries team.  In this blog post I would like to share with you the changes that we’ve made in ATL and MFC for Visual Studio 2013.<\/p>\n

One of the major changes we made was to eliminate the ATL DLL altogether.  All ATL code is now static, either in the header files or in the ATL static library.  We also reduced the amount of code in the ATL static library substantially, so there are no longer multiple static libraries for debug\/release mode or Unicode\/ANSI character set.  There is only one ATL static library that is common to all configurations. <\/p>\n

The changes to ATL also included the elimination of the ATL\/MFC Trace Tool and the simplification of the tracing mechanism.  The TRACE macros now essentially boil down to OutputDebugString, and there is no external controller of tracing level (like the trace tool provided)—the tracing level is set in the application itself.  This does cause source-breaking changes in some uses of the ATL::CTraceCategory class, which will require changes in source code when migrating to Visual Studio 2013.<\/p>\n

The major change we made in MFC was the deprecation of MBCS support (see more information in this separate blog post<\/a>).<\/p>\n

In addition, we fixed about 105 bugs in MFC and about 60 bugs in ATL.  About one-fourth of these bugs (in both libraries) were reported by customers.<\/p>\n

Though I cannot provide a complete list of the bugs in our internal bug database, here is a list of the bugs that were reported by customers through our Connect site that have been fixed in ATL and MFC for Visual Studio 2013 RTM. Click on any Connect bug number to see more information about that bug.  Note that most of these bugs were fixed for the Preview release as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
