I can't disount the CCC being a 'toy', since I've yet to code anything more
advanced than 4 or five classes, but I can say that while the small-model
library, which is the only one for which there is debugging support, will
only support a very small application, the package does include a large
model library; my plan is to use the small-model for a test-bench and then
promote the code to the large model as I go.
This is not a C++ or even an Objective C, but more like a hybrid of SmallTalk
and C. The Shareware package, which CCCorp tells me is no longer supported,
has everything needed to start (except the C compiler of course), and really
only suffers from not including their binding-optimizer or any sort of
browser.
I don't think this warrants removal (although I can't use SimTel anyway),
but then again, for the full-blown commercial version, I can't see why
anyone would spend $250+ on this when they can get C_Talk for just over $100.
If there IS an alternative object-oriented C preprocessor in shareware,
I would really like to get my hands on it!
