Does anyone have experience using Glockenspiel C++ and Commonview for
real-world projects? How well does it handle large systems? How good is
Commonview's portability across platforms (X, Windows, Mac)?
Thanks.

I haven't used CommonView but have used the GlockenSpiel C++ preprocessor fairly extensively in the last 3 months. It runs out of memory if you are not careful with the header files. Otherwise it appears to be a solid 1.2 implementation. I like the fact that you can make the name-mangling more civil and use CodeView pretty well with it. (As you can tell, I am running it on MS-DOS.) My .cxx files are about 700-1000 lines each. Cay

I have been using the extended memory (16M) version of Glock C++; it is very nice. I have never run out of memory, and I can even use inline functions, big header files, large code files! What a luxury! :-} -steve

Does anyone know what Glock's plans are for supporting version 2.0?

This usually happens at around the 500 line mark with both windows.h and commonvu.hxx included and a lot of the "#define NOxxxxx" lines deleted. One of the most annoying features of the C++ preprocessor, I find, is the way it arranges the names of constructors to make them unique but ignores the 32 character name limit of MicroSoft C. Frequently the 'unique' names produced byt C++ are not unique to C when truncated to this 32 character limit. Hopefully version 1.1 of the compiler will fix this (due out next month, they say.)

In their 1.2 release notes, they promised to support 2.0 before the
end of 1989 :-)

That probably means May or June or something like that -- every software house is always late! Our Systems Admin columnist is invloved in a company selling 2.0 c++ right now. I've not used it myself, but I understand it's good stuff and the DOS version is supposed to be topnotch. "comeau@utoday" gets through to one of the principles via an account he uses here...
