- Sub: C++ and MacApp Query
-
- Dear MacApp and C++ Fans,
-
- Does anyone have a way to use the "#pragma load" pre-processor statement for
- the MacApp header files? I know that the C++ documentation says that the "only
- #pragma statement passed to the C compiler is #pragma segment."
-
- The problem is that while MacApp is nifty and C++ is fairly nifty, the
- combination makes for a time-consuming disaster. Reading in UMacApp.h,
- UDialog.h, UGridView.h, and so on is an incredible waste of time. We're using
- IIci's and faster and are still amazed at how long compiles/links take of
- relatively short source files (ie. up to two minutes on a IIci for a file of
- less than 1,000 lines.) And, for those of you about to ask, this is with a very
- fast hard disk (two CDC Wren 600Mb hard disks tied together.) Needless to say,
- C++ under MPW will not cut into Think's profits for some time yet.
-
- What Apple gives with one hand with user-interface time savers (MacApp), it
- takes away with the other (no #pragma load's in C++).
-
- Thanks in advance for suggestions and advice.
