Has anyone netland heard of C++? Last week Brian Kerningham game a talk here at Purdue on C (past/present/future). He was enthusiastic about about a new language called C++, a revised version of C, that was upward compatable in C except for a few keywords, and greatly improved the usage of structures. Mr. Kerningham didn't go into great detail about the revisions, since he described himself as a popularizer, not an author of C Anyone out there who knows anything about this? I would like to see some discussion of this on the NET.

Since I was getting these when I was in school, I suspect that it's okay to pass on the address: Computing Science Technical Reports Room 2C-312 AT&T Bell Laboratories Murray Hill, NJ 07974 Article 108 is entitled "The C++ Programming Language Reference Manual". I don't know anything about it, but perhaps this document could clear up some confusion? Also, there's a list of CSTRs you can get from these people; write and ask for the list!

C++ is described in a recent AT&TBL CSTR. If you don't already know what these are or how to get them, I am reluctant to spoil a Good Thing by helping place a large load on the CSTR system.

There was an earlier article asking about C++.
It's an extension of the C language,
designed and implemented by Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Labs, Murray Hill, NJ.
It's based on his early creation, the class preprocessor,
which was described in Sigplan Notices, January, 198?.
It will be available as soon as Bells (AT&T's? or whatever they're calling
it this week) lawyers approve the idea.
For further information, you could contact Bjarne.
Don't use reply. My new address is {decvax, ...}!utzoo!oscvax!douglef@nlm-vax.ARPA (09/12/84)
I vaguely remember a discussion about C++ several months ago. It appears to solve a lot of "old C's" problems. I was not paying close attention at the time, and would like to know if any information regarding its availability came up ? Could someone who "knows" (or remembers what was said) fill me in ?
