- Alan Dail,PRT asks:
-
- Is it possible to use C++ in conjunction with the Apple IIGS MPW C cross-
- compiler?
-
- Well, I don't know the exact answer to this, but it might be possible. CFront,
- the C++ to C translator, can be targeted to generate C code for a particular
- processor, so you should be able to get MPW C++ to generate C code for the MPW
- IIgs C compiler.
-
- Unfortunately, while the C code emitted by CFront is legal, it is often quite
- different from the type of code human programmers write. This means that it is
- possible that you might run into problems when you try to compile the C code
- using the IIgs C compiler. If you did run into problems, you might be able to
- work around them, but it is quite possible that you would uncover something
- which would require modifications to the MPW IIgs C cross compiler.
-
- Anyway, it sounds like a good idea, but I don't know if anybody's tried it.
