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.
