- Currently Microsoft C++ does not support templates (the templdef
- sample doesn't qualify). Borland does support templates but has
- not yet released a compiiler for Windows NT. What should one do?
-
- - Hope for support in the next SDK drop? Somehow I doubt it.
-
- - Call Borland and beg?
-
- - Use the gjgpp dos port of gcc 2.2.2? If it would work in a DOS
- window that might serve as a temporary solution but I don't
- think its 32 bit memory management is compatible with
- Windows NT so I don't think it works at all.
-
- - Port gcc to Window NT as a posix application? I would guess
- that is non-trivial.
-
- - Is there another source for this technology?
-
- Thanks for any suggestions.
