Any news on the long-awaited arrival of an MPW C++ ? .
mtc@pbhyf.PacBell.COM (Mitchell T. Christensen) (12/08/88)
What is the current status of C++ on the Mac? Does it exist yet? I'm
also interest in a [Objective]C[++] equivelant of MacApp.
Thanks in advance.

I am interested in learning a new language, preferably C. I have heard that C++ is pretty good but I know nothing about it. Could someone give me some details on C++, ie. is it object oriented C, what it is like to use as a language? I am particularly interested to know if it is available for the Macintosh. If so, is it available in Australia? Thanks in advance Paul Freeman Chisholm Institute of Technology P.O. Box 197 Caulfield East 3145 Email: prf@cit5.cit.oz

For the moment the C++ products for Mac is available only for the A/UX platform. I.e. either the Cfront from AT&T that you need to port yourself, or C++ from Oasys that is ported for A/UX. I suggest that people wait a couple of months, AT&T will release RSN (in a week or so) C++ level 2.0 with goodies such as multiple inheritance and even stronger type checking. It is no secret that Apple is working on a C++ for the MPW environment, and this will be based on 2.0 C++. We can't really speak about unreleased products, but if you are more interested in the future of C++ within Apple, me and Andrew Shebanow from Apple DTS Cupertino will speak about the product and C++ in general at the Developer Conference in Adelaide next month. Last personal words, I myself am a C++ addict, I want to have a computer job in the 90:ies! Reg, Kent -- Kent Sandvik - Apple Australia | NET: ksand@appleoz.oz.AU TODAY:Do it! Hack!

Hello everybody, I personally have a NeXT but am posting this one for a friend who is about to get a IIcx and would like to know whether there is any good C++ compiler available and at what price. I remember from my experience of the Mac II I had earlier that lightspeed C was really nice with its interactive debugger, and affordable. Is there anything like that for C++ ? I am not a very regular reader of this newsgroup. Therefore, I would appreciate it if someone could also send me mail to notify me if he answers my question on the network. Thank you in advance.

An excerpt from the flyer reads: "The object extensions in THINK C support classes, methods, inheritance, and polymorphism. The source-level debugger transparently supports objects as well. And the THINK C Class Library gives you the building blocks to implement the standard Macintosh user interface, allowing you to focus on your application. The object extensions in THINK C are similar to Object Pascal as defined by Apple Computer. The syntax is based on C++, and is upwardly compatible with C++. " I hope this helps. Peter Espen espen@well
