Is there a C++ running under the native operating system on the Macintosh? In order to be of use to me it has to run on and support the full Mac range (within reason). (Oasys/Glockenspiel have C++ for A/UX on the Mac II, but that's not what I'm after.) (Usual grovelling apology if this question has recently been asked and answered...) If you've an affirmative response, please post it to BOTH groups above, although I'll summarise any mail that I get on the subject to the net if it looks to be of widespread interest. Thanks in advance. -- Dominic Dunlop domo@sphinx.co.uk domo@riddle.uucp

I have heard through APDA (and other sources) that Apple is working on a version of C++ for the mac (under MPW). It is supposed to provide full toolbox support in the same manner as MacApp (their OO Pascal). According to popular rumor, it is supposed to be released sometime within the next 9 mos. If you need it imediately, it sounds like you are SOL... Maybe contact Apple about being a beta site? +C -- Cory ( "...Love is like Oxygen..." ) Kempf UUCP: encore.com!gloom!cory "...it's a mistake in the making." -KT

I don't know when it will be available. This will be standard C++, with a couple of extensions to support the Mac environment and MacApp. It will work with MPW 3.0, and will be available from APDA (as are all our development tools). -- Larry Rosenstein, Object Specialist Apple Computer, Inc. 20525 Mariani Ave, MS 46-B Cupertino, CA 95014 AppleLink:Rosenstein1 domain:lsr@Apple.COM UUCP:{sun,voder,nsc,decwrl}!apple!lsr

A slightly different followup question: has anyone ported GNU C++ to the Mac? Not that I really have much hope of running it on my Mac+, but it would make a good cross-compiler ....

Apple was supposed to release C++ with MPW 3.0. It is not currently being distributed with the Beta version of 3.0. The non-beta version should be out Real Soon Now. However, the C++ release was originally being delayed until AT&T released C++ 2.0 so it may not be released even when MPW 3.0 comes out. I've heard no rumors on whether LightSpeed C will implement C++... There is a compiler tool called MacYACC which claims it includes a C++ to C translator (as an example!) but I've no idea how well it performs. Does anyone know the current status of AT&T C++ 2.0 or MPW C++??? //// Also waiting for a Mac version of C++... ////

I've been led to believe that MPW 3.0 has a C++ preprocessor that comes along with MPW C. You'll also like it because it allows complete access to the Mac toolbox and MPW is a "Unix" style shell with pipes, redirection of input/output and shell scripts. Hope this helps. -- David M.

I have just received the Winter 1989 APDAlog. On page 17 in an article by Steve Burbeck it states: "The next important landmark for MacApp is support for programming in C++. ....But, C++ will soon be availible from Apple. Current plans are for release 2.1 to provide the ability for code written in C++ to interact directly with MacApp." Anybody have any idea when any of this will happen?

Randy Battat of Apple is quoted in the EE Times as saying that Apple's C++ will be released as soon as AT&T releases C++ V2.0. My question is when is C++ 2.0 coming out?????
