Gehani and W.D. Roome for more info). The article Mr. Frain cites does *not* introduce a new language beyond Concurrent C. It simply sets out an application in order to demonstrate Concurrent C's orthogonality to C++ and to show that the elegant object-oriented facilities provided by C++ benefit not only sequential programming but also parallel programming. As a matter of fact, the current Concurrent C compiler accepts both Concurrent C and Concurrent C++ (the language accepted depends upon a compile-time switch). These issues are discussed in Gehani & Roome. *The Concurrent C Programming Language*. Summit, NJ: Silicon Press. 1989 (ISBN #0-929306-00-7), a concise and clear description of the language. The Concurrent C product is sold by AT&T and an AT&T VAR, ImageSoft. ------------------------------------------------------------- Steven Lally | AT&T Bell Laboratories uunet!att!ulysses!lally | 600 Mountain Avenue 201-957-6528 | Murray Hill, New Jersey 07974 -------------------------------------------------------------

Hi,
years ago I stumbled over concurrent C and disliked it because it lacked the
C++ features. Right now, I know that AT&T has finished a merged compiler
that includes the concurrent and class-oriented features. I know that this
is a recent development, but has anyone already tried the combination ? I
would like multi-threaded objects (without using a task library).
Cheers ! rick@vee.lrz-muenchen.de
