C++ compiler technology has not yet achieved the industry-wide compatibility found in today's C compilers. Because of this, C++ binary objects are not portable. Following is a table of currently supported compilers. ICS will be expanding our support to additional compilers in subsequent releases of ViewKit.
Source is available for customers wishing to use ViewKit on additional platforms or with additional compilers.
