The Free Software Foundation has added G++, the GNU C++ Compiler to it's compiler/beta tape along with lib-g++ and oops. All this software is in beta test. FSF has also published the Users Manual for bison, its yacc compatible parser generator: g++, libg++, and oops G++ is a front-end for GCC, that compiles C++, an object-oriented language that is upward compatible with C. Since G++ depends on GCC, it can only be used with the corresponding version of GCC. libg++ (the GNU C++ library) is a collection of C++ classes and support tools for use with G++. OOPS (Object-Oriented Program Support) class library is a portable collection of classes similar to those in Smalltalk-80 that has been developed by Keith Gorlen of NIH, using the C++ programming. Bison Manual The Bison Manual describes how to write a grammar description that Bison can convert into a C program that can parse that grammar. It describes the concepts and then provides a series of increasingly complex examples before describing what goes on in considerable detail.
