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
In the honor of the new year, in the last couple of months I have accumulated 2026 C++ hotreloads, since I began to keep track of it automatically. Thanks, @liveplusplus!
@RandomPedroJ @nephewtom To add to what Pedro said: With Live++, your code doesn't have to be structured in any way. You can hot-reload code that was compiled into a single monolithic EXE and Live++ will take care of all globals, statics, etc. involved automatically, which is very different from HH.
I've been using @liveplusplus for professional and side projects for a few weeks now. Iteration speed, and thus the ability to stay in flow is—I'd dare to say—even good for one's health. #Hellrule (through it's fork of #GodotEngine) will benefit a lot from it!
@amzeratul There are command-line tools you can use, but we understand that might be tedious, depending on how often you switch. Give the trial a go and if you like what you see, reach out to us!
@amzeratul We can make this work and define custom terms, especially if you are a smaller studio.
@amzeratul We understand your concerns, but you can easily activate & deactivate licenses freely between machines. If you need to work on 3 devices *at the same time*, you can make use of networked hot-reload. And if you work on 3 devices, all with different code, please talk to us.
@TheBonkMaykr Will be coming eventually, no ETA yet.
Amazing to see this in numbers. Now imagine the time saved when used on a typical AAA game.
5 days ago I added a tracker that counts how many times I have hot-reloaded my C++ game code. I am already at 500+ hot-reloads. That is at 100+ per day (varies depending on the kind of coding I do). 100 times 15-30 seconds (to compile, link, launch and get into the same state)
We were super-happy to have Stefan from Live++ presenting at our engineering day. It's a fantastic tool, and it was a great presentation with lots of nuggets. Did you for instance know that you can hot-reload while the exception/crash intercept dialog is up? Impressive tech!
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/Moja… liveplusplus.tech/downloads/Moja… The talk was well received and some of the feedback already made it into the latest update. #cpp
@OlexGameDev Good to hear you're also making use of continuous compilation. A real power user!
That's a good use case for Live++ hooks, great job!
@liveplusplus This thread has inspired me to add ImGui integration for Live++. For years I have watched the system tray icon. But now my main menu bar in ImGui shows me the progress, errors if any, and the number of times I've reloaded. I might even save the total count across sessions!
Is your company interested in trying Live++? Want to know what it can do for you? Curious about its features? You can now request a live demo through our website - free of charge! liveplusplus.tech/request_live_d… #cpp
@sisqobmx @OlexGameDev Even on a beefy 64-core machine, several engines, codebases, tools, etc. take up to 1 minute to even open, e.g. UE5. Linking a single-file change into a monolithic executable can take >30s, because linking by and large is still serial.
@sisqobmx @OlexGameDev That entirely misses the point of hot-reload. It is a common misconception that hot-reload is 'only' about reducing compile times, while people forget about: - Linking - Restarting the application - Bringing back the previous application state - Staying in the flow
@OlexGameDev @egor_zelenkov Don't, there's a lot that can be done in the compiler itself, even if it's based on LLVM. E.g. Clang for PS5 is *very fast*, compared to all other platforms and MSVC and Clang on those platforms.
