My company is starting up a major development effort using C++. Thus far, I have spent approximately 2 weeks toying with the language. I am excited about it, but also concerned about jumping into a large scale effort without more information. Has anyone out there done anything big (> 10k lines) with it? How do the different compilers stack up against each other? Is it really possible to debug effectively with cfront, or is a native compiler (GNU, Oregon) essential? Has anyone developed interfaces to NeWS or X11 toolkits? Should I reconsider and go look at Objective C, Smalltalk, ...? I am new to netnews, so these questions have probably been addressed here already. Does anyone have an archive of the C++ newsgroup? I would be grateful for a copy (my phone call or yours). In general, I am interested in hearing from anyone who can enlighten me on any of these or other aspects of working with the language. Partisan responses are always welcome. ...I will try to come up with a snappy closing for my postings... Dave Steinhoff ...uunet!amara!des des@amara.UUCP
