I'd like to port C++ to our PC/XT. Has anybody already done this? Are there particular things I should look out for? Is it a lot of work? There was a note on the net suggesting that Lattice C was more appropriate than Microsoft because of problems with struct assignment; this seems strange because my Lattice (2.14) compiler doesn't even have struct assignment while my Microsoft (3.0) has! I expect that the limit of 31 characters for identifiers could be a problem, given the long names C++ generates; what are the experiences with this? Please reply by mail; I'll summarize if I get any useful responses. Guido van Rossum, CWI, Amsterdam <guido@mcvax.uucp>
