For those of you using C++ on Suns: could you please email me (I don't read this board on a regular basis) (a) the name of the C++ compiler/interpreter you're using, (b) what you're using it for, and (c) how much you like it and why. We'd like to get C++ here, but we're an educational site with limited funding, so we want to make the right choice. Thanks for the help.

I recently sent a request to this newsgroup for any information about strongpoints/weaknesses of various implementations of c++. So far, I have received the c++ products list (thanks to David Prager, for forwarding it to me, and to Jean Christophe for posting it in the first place). This is a useful starting point, as it informs me of what is available, and in many cases, gives a phone number I can call for more detailed info. This list implies on what platforms these implementations run, but this leads to the implication, IMHI (Im My Humble Interpretation), that Glockenspiel c++ works on MS-DOS and OS/2 only, whereas I have used something that *claims* to be Glockenspiel c++ on a Sun 3/80 running SunOS 4.0.3. I would like to eliminate unnecessary phone calls asking about something which I cannot use, but am not sure which implementations work where. I will be using c++ with the X windowing system, on Sun workstations, running under SunOS. The following shows what *I* *think* is my usability for the 11 c++ compilers listed in the products list: cfront 2.0 yes (of course) HCR C++ probably not g++ 1.36.1 (FSF) yes MPW C++ (Apple) no (mac only?) Zortech C++ don't think so (MS-DOS only?) Glockenspiel C++ thought not, but . . . (MS-DOS & OS/2 only?) Lattice C++ no (Amiga only?) InTek C++ no (Dos & System V only?) Green Hills C++ ?? CC C++ (Comeau) ?? (probably yes) Oregon C++ yes I would appreciate any corrections or reinforcements on the above list. Also, there were no phone numbers included for AT&T (cfront), HCR, and Zortech. I *could* find them with a little effort, but as I am lazy, if anyone happens to know these, I would appreciate them.

This is just a quick followup to clarify HCR's HCR/C++: HCR/C++ is a Cfront 2.0 based C++ compiler. It is shipped with dbXtra, HCR's full screen, windowing debugger based on dbx. DbXtra does not require the X WIndowing System (or any windowing system), but is designed to run on any alphanumeric terminal. HCR/C++ is available for the 386 architecture, specifically the 386/ix Operating System (release 2.0) and SCO UNIX 3.2. There is no version of HCR/C++ for SUN's. For more information, HCR can be contacted at: 130 Bloor Street West Suite 1001 Toronto, Ontario M5S 1N5 or send e-mail to me (..!uunet!mnetor!lsuc!hcr!jim) Jim Sullivan Product Manager - HCR/C++
