One of these irritating but necessary requests for basic info on C++
compilers and techniques.
I am investigating the possibility of using a C++ compiler for an
undergraduate electrical engineering thesis. The hardware I will be
using is PC compatible. Some questions:
Zortech C++. I have seen this mentioned all over this newsgroup.
- Where would I find a review of this product?
- What is its method of code generation? (i.e. is it *merely*
a C preprocessor)?
- Can the object files it generates be used with those
generated by C and pascal compilers? (I know little about the
details of the PC development environment as this question may
imply)
- Are there other alternatives in the same price range?
- (Australia only: Is is distributed here? Who distributes it?)
- Are there any religious fanatics about the place (Fortran
programmers, for example) who would object violently if I
bought this product?
More generally. In a fuzzy-headed sort of way I am interested in applying
object oriented techniques to problems of concurrency. I need some
references. I have found one. A whole book on the subject "Object Oriented
Concurrent Programming" by Yonezawa and Tokoro. Published by MIT Press. When
I say found I mean I have found the reference, not the book. Is it any
good? How about examples of multi-tasking kernels implemented in object
oriented languages? Other references?

Many thanks to all the kind people who replied to my Concurrent C message
a while back. For those who are interested: Concurrent C is stable and has
been implemented in a few UNIX/(UNIX-like?) environments but not in
a PC environment.
