Live++

Live++ 2.11.5 out now! liveplusplus.tech/releases.html Added support for /libpath, fixed "main-file-name" for Clang and fixed a nasty bug that could result in the dreaded "Patch was loaded outside 2GB range" error. Thanks to everybody for reporting these issues. Enjoy! #cpp

If you work with C or C++ on Linux you'll want to get in on this. Believe me when I say Live++ accelerates your workflow and reduces iteration times in ways you can't imagine before you've tried it.

In other news, Linux support is coming along nicely and the Closed Beta will most likely start in Q3 2026. Reach out if you are interested!

Live++ 2.11.4 out now! liveplusplus.tech/releases.html Added full support for network paths, improved sorting of compilands having an "N/A" entry, and fixed an edge case with "external vague" dynamic initializers in static libraries. Thanks to everybody for reporting issues! #cpp

Live++ 2.11.3 out now! liveplusplus.tech/releases.html Fixed a few warnings when using pure C compilers, improved compatibility with Clang (especially around dynamic initializers), full support for VS 2026 in all examples. #cpp

Visual Studio's C++ hot reload was kinda-sorta working but with various glitches/limitations, and a bit slow. I've now switched to Live++ and so far have been very happy, quite an upgrade in both speed and robustness.

Live++ 2.11.2 out now! liveplusplus.tech/releases.html This release includes quality-of-life improvements and a fix for a rare edge case when compiling with the MSVC toolchain. #cpp

Live++ 2.11.1 out now: A range of bug fixes across all platforms, some of them obscure, some of them long-standing. Thanks to all the people who reported these issues, you help improve Live++ for everybody. #cpp #gamedev

Last week, we were invited by Mojang Stockholm to do a talk about Live++ and its use cases. You can download the presentation here: liveplusplus.tech/downloads/Mo... liveplusplus.tech/downloads/Mo... The talk was well received and some of the feedback already made it into the latest update. #cpp

Live++ 2.11.0 out now: liveplusplus.tech/releases.html - Support for virtual file systems - Support for 10x by @stewartlynch8.bsky.social - Environment variable set for invoked compiler - Hot-Restart via exception handler dialog - Smaller fixes #cpp #gamedev

The Live++ Releases page now offers an RSS feed, making it easier to keep track of updates. #cpp #gamedev

In the next update, it will be possible to hot-restart on an unhandled exception. This is incredibly useful in situations where code has been deoptimized and a few patches have been applied, especially in startup code, because this will automatically be injected upon restart.

Some build statistics from our "Live++ meets DOOM" experiment to show off the benefits of unity splitting in Live++.

Once again I need to shout out my appreciation for @liveplusplus.bsky.social. I'm dealing with some wacky geometric deformations involving formulas that are easy to get wrong. Being able to just pause the game at a tricky section and modify the C++ code is pure magic. #gamedev #procgen

Live++ 2.10.0 out now: liveplusplus.tech/releases.html Bugfixes, optimizations, and a few new features making it easier to support distributed and custom build systems. #cpp

Live++ 2.9.3 out now: liveplusplus.tech/releases.html Last month was busy! A lot of bugfixes across all platforms and vastly improved loading times for projects with several dozens of dynamic libraries. Extra thanks to Resmi Hasankolli from EA for his help with Frostbite support. #cpp

Thanks Adrian! liveplusplus.tech/testimonials...

Live++ 2.9.2 out now: liveplusplus.tech/releases.html Includes bug fixes for a few minor issues, greatly improved stability on PlayStation platforms. Thanks to all the people who reported issues and helped with debugging, your support is greatly appreciated! #cpp #gamedev

Concerns have been raised that Live++ might not be compatible with the recently announced "Dynamic Debugging" feature of Visual Studio. There currently is no reason to believe that Live++ will not work with this feature. We'll have a closer look once it's out of preview.

If you're a user of Live++ and would like to inspect global variables in the debugger for recompiled code, we filed a feature request with the VS team that would help make this easier for you: developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Consider-a... Please consider commenting on and upvoting this issue.

The absolutely indispensable effectiveness of @liveplusplus.bsky.social: I can freely experiment with the highway shaping functions in C++ and get immediate results. In the clip the game auto-generates a new spline from this code every 0.5 seconds. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev
