-
- This is to announce that the 1.0 distribution of RT++ (source code, printed
- documentation, and online documentation) is available as
-
- http://www.risc.uni-linz.ac.at/people/schreine/rt++/main.html
-
- RT++ is a software package that provides higher-order threads in the
- programming language C++. Its features include a type-safe functional thread
- interface, lazy thread creation, garbage-collected types (lists, arrays,
- pointer structures) and controlled non-determinism (thread bags). Threads are
- first-order objects that can be used like any other objects and that are
- automatically reclaimed when they are not referenced any more. The package has
- been ported to numerous types of monoprocessors and shared memory
- multiprocessors and can be easily embedded into existing application
- frameworks.
-
- RT++ has been tested on the following architectures:
-
- * PCs (Linux, Intel 386 family),
- * Sequent Symmetry (Dynix/ptx, Intel 386 family),
- * Silicon Graphics (Irix, MIPS family),
- * Sun (SunOs and Solaris, SPARC family),
- * Meiko CS-2 (Solaris, SPARC family),
- * Hewlett Packard (HP-UX, PA-RISC family),
- * Convex SPP (HP-UX, PA-RISC family).
-
- Ports to other architectures with one of above processor families should be
- easy. Also ports to architectures with the DEC AXP (Alpha) processor family
- should be easy (since they are supported by the QuickThreads package too).
-
- For installing RT++, you need the GNU g++ compiler, the GNU C++ library libg++
- and the QuickThreads package (freely available).
-
- Best regards,
- Wolfgang Schreiner
