hello people ! c++ seems to be really great ! but i never saw a version of it in our local software shops, so it would be really great to get some information about it ! could u pls mail me the adress of the distributor for c++ in europe, or even better in germany. if there is a public domain version of c++ , pls let me know about it. now the most important question for me: is c++ available for unix, msdos, os9 or/and the atari st ? thanx alot for your help, Claus ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Claus Duerr | "Some programmers have been known to howl at full .. | | Munich | .. moons." - "Only at full moons ?!" | | West-Germany |------------------------------------------------------| | Phone: D-089-4602819 | UUCP: ...!uunet!mcvax!unido!altger!cld | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It allows your programmers to build large or sophisticated applications more productively. The C++ Translator converts C++ programmes into C programmes and provides access to the full complement of C programming language development tools. In brief, C++ includes the following enhancements to the base C language: - Data hiding - Optional guaranteed initialization of data structures - Optional user-defined implicit type conversion - Overloading of function names - Operator Overloading - Dynamic typing (virtual functions) - Function argument checking - In-line functions - User-controlled memory-management The translator includes a version of the C standard header files for C++ and a C++ library providing support for: - stream input/output - complex arithmetic - event-driven simulations, and - generic user-defined data types The C Code produced by C++ requires a C compiler that supports long data types, structure assignment and structure parameter passing. The guideline as to memory requirements given by Stroustrup, is that a machine should have at least "a 384 Kbyte address space". > now the most important question for me: is c++ available for unix, msdos,os9 > or/and the atari st ?
