- A friend needs to port some C++ code to an Intel 960 platform.
- He claims that there do not exist any C++ ports yet. If anyone
- knows of a C++ port for the 960, could they please let me know.
-
- Assuming there is no C++ port for the 960, could anyone summarize the
- pros and cons of the available development strategies:
-
- 1. License and port cfront to the 960. (There are C compilers for the
- 960.)
-
- 2. Compile the C++ into C on another platform and move the C code
- to the 960.
-
- 3. Any other ideas?
-
- In particular, what is available to demangle C++ names into better
- names to allow the use of existing C debuggers on the 960? Some
- debugging will have to occur on the 960 itself.
-
- Thanks alot!
