[comp.lang.c++] Think-C 4.0

budd@fog.cs.orst.edu (Tim Budd) (06/27/91)

Can anybody tell me the differences between Think-C Vers 4.0 and Vers 3.0
for the Mac?
In particular, have they narrowed the gap between Think-C and C++?
(It was fairly wide in version 3.0).
Have they added non-virtual methods, access protections, constructors?

Some call it C+-. I've heard that everything is public (you use structs),
there is no constructors or destructors, no operator overloading and
probably there is a lot else missing. I think it is a pity they don't
make a real C++ since their programming environment is excellent - great
debugger, nice editors etc, etc, etc. And a quite extensive "class"
library. I'm working with C++ at work, and I don't want to learn yet
another language. If Symantec made Think C 5.0 == C++ I would start doing
some real programming at home...
