[comp.lang.c++] port of AT&T C++ task library to GNU C++. Has it been done?

mwette@gauss.ucsb.edu (Matt Wette) (05/01/88)

I'm looking for an implementation of the AT&T task library for GNU C++.
Has anybody done it?

I got the AT&T library to compile (only minor changes as I remember)
using GNU C++ 1.20.  However, no sample programs would run.  The mess
seems to be in task::task.  

Second question:  Is the AT&T task library proprietary?  There are no
Copyright notices in the source.

Almost certainly it is proprietary.  Read the licence agreement that you
(or somebody associated with your institution) had to sign to get it.
Copyright notices are needed (more or less) (in the US) only in things
that are published for the whole world to see; things that you can see
only if you sign an agreement are a different matter entirely.
