C++ Development Environment

The Current State of C++

C++ is the language of choice for developers writing object-oriented code. The promise of well defined interfaces, encapsulation of data and functions, object reuse, class hierarchies, and modularity attract developers interested in trying to solve the increasing complexity of software systems.

Developers are coming to C++ from a variety of backgrounds. Some are moving from C. Others are adopting C++ after experience with other object-oriented languages. Silicon Graphics has C++ compilers and tools to meet the needs of every programmer looking to expand their code with object-oriented features.

ProDev C++ includes:

Optimizing C++ compiler
ViewKit application framework
RapidApp for creating media-rich application
Open Inventor 3D graphics library
First-class support for C++ in the ProDev WorkShop debugger
Special C++ Static Analyzer in WorkShop for OOP browsing and queries

The New Era of C++ Development

Silicon Graphics recognizes the importance of C++ and has developed a suite of new tools to solve these complex problems. The ProDev C++ development environment includes a complete set of compilers, libraries, and tools for all levels of C++ programming. Combined, these products provide solutions that help developers to be more productive, and ensure the quality of C++ based software systems.

As the C++ language standardization moves foward, Silicon Graphics is commited to providing the best set of tools, including an ANSI-compliant compiler and libraries.
