Check out the latest issue of AmigaWorld. Lattice is advertising its C++ compiler. (Sorry, I don't remember the price! :-( ) Greg.

In 1067.3.4512.10, Chris asks about the availability and cost of C++ compilers. I cannot quote price, availability, or exactly where I did see such a compiler but the latest issue of AmigaWorld carried an advertisement from Lattice fo C++. I refer you to them. I appologize for increasing the noise by an inexperienced USENET User (This is my first posting!), but Chris DID say he ws having problems with E-mail, and requested the response posted. . . - Arved /* Standard Disclaimer */ Footer under developement.

Well, I called lattice to try and find out when and how much, and the sales person couldn't give me any information at all. He claimed that the advertizing department is overly zealous. Anyway, I am supposidly on the mailing list for any info there will be. Could someone at SAS/Lattice give us any more info? The ad in AmigaWorld was terrible. It was hard to tell if it was a game or a language! I liked the part where it said that it was available NOW at a dealer near me. Is it a compiler, an interpreter, a conversion utility that output's C or what? How much does it cost? What will it come with? How compatible is it to other vendors products? Is it enhanced from the standard? How about a little info in a full page color ad next time - it makes your money go a little farther (Hell, you can even use the infamous FINE PRINT!)

Well hold on to your hat Greg, on BIX Lattice 'announced' the C++ frontend (takes C++ code and spits out C code) to be available this summer and at a cost of $500. They reccomend you also get the Lattice C compiler to compile the code that it produces. :-) -- --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@sun.com These opinions are my own and no one elses.

I refer you to them. If I'm not mistaken, there's a gnu version of C++. At least the local machine in town who holds archives has a listing for a bunch of files in it's "./archives/gnu" directory that are called "C++"blahblahblah. 'Course, it's probably not for the Amiga, but someone could port them. Heh.

It's not very complete just yet from what I understand. Also it's a large program, the compressed tar file of the distribution is ~700K. Plus it requires the GNU CC to run and that guy isn't very small either. -- <---- David Herron -- The E-Mail guy <david@ms.uky.edu> <---- s.k.a.: David le casse\*' {rutgers,uunet}!ukma!david, david@UKMA.BITNET <---- <---- Goodbye RAH.

Somebody here at Tandy ported GNU cc to our 68000 based Model 6000's a while back so it could certainly be done for the Amiga. The GNU c++ could be done at the same time and shouldn't take much additional effort. The only problems are: A) Who the hell has that kind of time? I sure don't. B) Once you've got the ports done what do you do about all the necessary include files and libraries to link with (I understand that amiga.lib is NOT freely distributable). C) Documentation would take additional time. This is a multi-person project and it will probably need to be started with the support of at least a mini computer. As I understand it a good way to start is first compile the compiler and get it running under a Un*x environment, alter all internal #defines and such so that it will generate assembly code compatible with one of the assemblers on the amiga. Then use this compiler to compile the compiler again (is that clear :-), the resulting 68000 assembly code should be downloaded to the amiga and assembled hopefully resulting in a working compiler. It won't. That's the reason for having the mini, so that you can recompile again and again.

Since I started doing networking for Ameristar, the development system I have used looks like this: Sun "cc" -> Sun "as" -> Sun "ld" -> Ameristar "conv" -> Amiga Recently I've started switching our stuff to the following system: GNU "gcc" -> GNU "as" -> Sun "ld" -> Ameristar "conv" -> Amiga "conv" is a simple backend that eats Unix a.out format and produces Amiga hunk format (with optional wack sym tables, etc). I've found in (some admittedly informal) tests that GCC seems to generate code better (speedwise) than Sun's own compiler included in SunOS v3.5. Also, GCC gives one the ability to change the frame pointer from a6 -> a5 (so that a6 need not be saved for lib calls), the option of using register param passing, inline code, add appropriate peephole optimizations, etc. To build Amiga interface libraries, we use a simple processor to read .fd files and produce library call stubs. For libraries, I use a highly modified version of Manx library code (mods done to get better Berkeley compatibility). Of course the eventual goal is to start migrating our stuff over to (GC)C++. I am not able to release any of the work I've done, but I thought people would like to know that is it in fact possible to build a highly functional cross compiler environment using the GNU stuff.
