#codewarrior
Visual Studio 2026 has a new "Generate preprocessed output for any C++ file" feature that brings us one step closer to parity with the development functionality available in 1995 with CodeWarrior.

oh perfect

I know I have CodeWarrior for Palm somewhere here (NT host, thank god)

Forcing myself to learn pointers, pointer arithmetic, and linked lists at the age of 13 or so was the smartest thing I did that summer of coding.

Found the book I used, "Learn C on the Macintosh." Ordered a copy for nostalgia sake.

Metrowerks CodeWarrior = awesome.

This is a port of Timo Rossi's PIC16Cxx microcontroller assembler port and programmer to the Macintosh. The C source code and CodeWarrior project file is included.

Oh yes, I know that lesson well! My first Mac was a Power Mac 7500, and I got Symantec C++ with it (should have got CodeWarrior). I crashed that thing SO many times with my own home-grown code! 😁

I wouldn't go back, but relative to the things I was doing in CodeWarrior, I was happier with CodeWarrior than I am using the tools I'm using now for the things I'm doing now.

Some people have never watched a newsgroup devolve into death threats over CodeWarrior vs MPW vs THINK C, and it shows.

My problem is I really liked CodeWarrior, and XCode 3.x was as close as they ever came to that feeling

I just haven’t used it much at all since the 4.x days, maybe it’s gotten better after that

My classic is on the PS2 - Codewarrior doesn't initialize static arrays of function pointers properly after a certain array size. It doesn't always crash, but when it goes wrong weird things happen. Had to make a function on startup to re-initialize the function pointer array

My first job was doing development on one of these. Metroworks Codewarrior FTW!

@arroz I should do the same with Carillon, the minute repeater I wrote when I was about the same age. I know I have the code somewhere. It was a Symantec C++ or a CodeWarrior project.

i can see the appeal, but i am _not_ going back to Metrowerks CodeWarrior 😬

This is what great design looks like. I obviously haven’t used it for decades but as soon as I glanced at the CD I immediately knew this had to be related to CodeWarrior somehow, even before I read the small print on the bottom. MetroWerks really had a charismatic IDE! […]

In the end this is what I had to do:

- Remove all the Mac Toolbox header includes, CodeWarrior does it automagically
- Remove the jank “include all C files directly in the main file" method I used to avoid having to learn MPW Make. CW projects are automatic
- Add missing function prototypes (th […]

I learned Java 1.1 with a Metrowerks CodeWarrior IDE, took the AP exam on Java 5 (generics!!), and mostly stayed in the loop up through JDK 14 (primarily with an eye towards what JVM improvements could benefit scalac).

Damn. You've turned into the Codewarrior.

Strolling down amnesia lane... Though, I do still have the CodeWarrior "metal stamp" sound as my "Build succeeded" sound in XCode 🤣

Copied the CodeWarrior Gold 8 files off my Classic Mac OS 9 system and going to write a compiler that can read those includes and output, because developing on OS 9 is hard lol.

Metrowerks CodeWarrior? I would like to invite you to my podcast airhacks.fm - to talk about the bottle :-)

i’ve got sdl 1.2.16 working on mac os 9 on my ibook

but my engine isn’t compiling

if you’re trying to compile sdl 1.2.16 in this environment
either with codewarrior or mpw,
you must remember to go to the include directory and rename “SDL_config_macos.h” to “SDL_config.h” before compiling

Anybody else remember when CodeWarrior shipped an optimizing compiler for the first time and everyone's code broke cuz we were all relying on UB lol
