Cross-Platform Mobile App Development with Visual C++
summary
Visual C++ 2015 claims one codebase for Windows, Android and iOS by compiling shared C++ back ends into .dll/.a/.so and thin platform UIs, using Visual Studio, the Android NDK/Clang toolchain, GDB server debugging and a vs emulator for fast testing. Demos convert Eclipse projects, run a native-activity OpenGL app and an OpenCV pipeline, show shared-library builds and a remote Mac build agent for iOS. Presenter reports 75% of top Android apps use C++, Java debugging is unfinished but promised in ~2 months; some live demos hiccup due to network.
