SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the use of C++ Builder and RAD Studio by developers, highlighting its capabilities for creating native cross-platform applications without the need for cross-compiling. Users express concerns about the high costs associated with RAD Studio licenses, which do not include upgrades or technical support. Embarcadero C++ Builder XE5 supports C++11 standards but lacks full compliance, particularly with features like lambda expressions and the auto keyword. The introduction of the CLANG compiler in RAD Studio XE10 enhances the development experience for users.

Hello All!

Anybody uses C++ Builder / RAD Studio Embarcadero? For me I used Embarcadero products on work for all project. For me interesting information of used Embarcadero in other countries. Thanks.

I've used C++ Builder for some time and it is quite good but I also use Visual Studio when I need to develop some C++ code.

Now, for RAD Studio, the capabilities are really great requiring the minimum efforts by developers in order to create native cross-platform apps (Windows, Mac, iOS, Android) with no cross-compiling or wrapping around the code. That is really great but when it comes to price, the cost is prohibitive for single developers / small companies and it is somewhat expensive for even bigger companies. The license (of some thousands dollars) purchased with RAD Studio is not exactly perpetual as it does not include upgrades (which are about once per year) and technical support although great, is somewhat expensive too. I don't say that the total costs included are unreasonable given the power of RAD Studio but the whole thing is somewhat overpriced.

For its usage, as far as I know, it is advertised to have around 3 million users worldwide. In my country I know quite a few people using it in the companies they work for.
 
Thanks. I work in little russian company (120 employees). We use official version RAD XE5. It's expensive for us.
 
What C++ standart use in Embarcadero C++ XE5-XE10? I don't find this in official web site.
 
Embarcadero C++ Builder XE 5 had already C++ 11 standards compliance.
 
Ok. Thanks. But Builder not follow full standart. I cannot use lambda expression and auto keyword in XE5.
 
C++ Builder XE 5 compiler was bcc32 (Windows, Mac OS X) and bcc64 (Windows), the old compiler with some enhancements for C++ 11. In version XE 10 (Seattle) Embarcadero introduced CLANG an enhanced compiler and also a toolchain for Win32 (bcc32c). For the features of the latest developments of Embarcadero for Delphi, C++ Builder and RAD Studio see here.
