I remember some talk of C++ on here before, is a compiler available? How about a C++ to C converter? Thanks. -Spieu!

This tool will probably never compile more than "Hello world" on a 1 MB machine. The pass 1 of the compiler (gcc-c++) is about 650 kB large and i don't think that this could be reduced very much. Perhaps somebody else has already finished this port (JRD ?) but for this last reason has not announced it here... I have already cross-compiled G++ 1.34 (i think i'll get 1.35 this week) on our Sun and will now try to compile the library on my Mega 2 at home. The original AT&T C++ is a "C++ to C converter" (plus ...) because it generates C-code from C++ source. It should be no problem porting this to the ST (it would also be much smaller), since it reads text files and generates new text as output. BUT the original AT&T C++ is NOT PD. And i don't think that they would think about porting to the ST. > Thanks. > > -Spieu! Hope this helps - Edgar
