We are contemplating using an object oriented language for our next project on Iris 4D's. To this end, does anyone have either: 1) a version of common lisp with a fast version of CLOS (PCL might be okay) that runs on the 4D's 2) a version of C++ that has multiple inheritance. That runs on the 4D's. A solid port of g++ (1.36) would be just fine. 3) any other suggestions for object oriented languages that *run* on the 4D, and an explanation of why it is better than 1 or 2.

SGI currently sells our port of the AT&T C++ 1.2.1 compiler. We have the AT&T C++ 2.0 compiler running in house, and will be releasing it sometime next year (1990). You could buy the current product, then get it updated when we release 2.0... There does exist a "working" version of g++ for the mips chip (thus it will work on the 4D). It doesn't play with dbx though, so you have to resort to more primitive debugging techniques. kipp hickman silicon graphics inc.
