885.0. "C++ anyone?" by DCC::JAERVINEN (Don't make your personal name too long) Mon Nov 09 1987 07:25

    I've recently had to investigate some object-oriented programming
    techniques/languages because of my job here (yes, I do work every
    now and then, between entering notes here... :-)
    
    As much as I hate C, I seem to like C++ (though I haven't actually
    used it yet). But this kind of object oriented approach is quite
    neat, and would ideally fit the Amiga environment (windows etc).
    
    One of the companies offering C++ is Glockenspiel of Dublin, Ireland;
    they even have a version for the Atari ST (bleagh). I wonder if
    they'd do one for the Amiga if we all send them mail. Semi :-)
    (The Atari version costs $600, though, which is a bit stiff; you
    still need your standard C compiler because C++ is just a 
    translator/preprocessor).
    
    Does anyone know of any object-oriented languages for the Amiga?

    xlisp for the Amiga has objects, but you can't do any windowing.
    I'd love to have C++.
885.2Jforth is what you're looking for !VENERE::ZABOTMarco Zabot-Adv.Tech.mgr-Turin ACTWed Nov 11 1987 11:464
    Object programming + Window support may be found in JFORTH.
    Sorry I've not had the time to try the object programming part.
    The windowing support is a piece of cake.

    I've had enough of these quiche eating, stack-based languages.
    I want Common Lisp and an intuition interface!  grr, snarl.

Humph.  I would rather eat quiche than eat memory.

Well this topic is very old.  Can anyone provide recommendations
on C++ implementations for the Amiga?

885.7Lattice C++ELWOOD::PETERSWed Feb 07 1990 03:3725
    
    	I have a copy of Lattice C++ and it seems to work very well. It is
    a pre-processor that then calls the standard Lattice C compiler and
    Blink linker. The C++ package comes with all the parts to compile and
    link. C++ can also use the newer and improved V 5.x lattice compiler to
    create better code. 
    
    	The package includes :
    
    both a lattice C++ manual and 
    "An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming and C++"
    
    All software need to compile and link C++
    
    C++ object definitions for the Amiga OS
    
    and some example programs
    
    
    
    		I don't know of any other C++ compiler for the Amiga.

How's debugging in Lattice C++?

RE:                      <<< Note 885.7 by ELWOOD::PETERS >>>
Steve,
	Sounds like just what I've been looking for, so I called the
    Software Shop to get it.  Moe told me that it's no longer available.
    Could this be true?
    Along the same lines, Moe also told me that B.E.S.T. was no longer
    available, they went out of business!  I called B.E.S.T. and they
    were as surprised as I was to hear it!
Clyde
885.10Lattic would be surprised to here it also....BUZZER::GERBERFor more info, call: 800/555-1212Mon Jun 25 1990 14:3811
Clyde,

	I just talked to Lattice about C++ last week Thursday.  They would
be very surprised to hear that it is not available.

	I wouldn't trust a store that lies like that.  He probably hopes you
would buy something else if he said it was no longer available.

	Try a different store.

    re .8
    
    	Debugging under C++ is not very easy. The debugger doesn't support
    C++ source code debugging. I have been compiling with a switch to 
    create a listing that includes the generated C code. I then source
    code debug the C code.
    
    re .9
    
    	The memory location has Lattice C++ in stock. I have also recieved
    information from Lattice that still lists it. In fact I have heard of
    an ungrade comming.
