There are problems with C++ and dllimport of class definitions. I don't have any idea how to fix that. C++ locale class currently has minimal functionality. I have a hint of how to add more functionality using w32api NLS functions, but not enough cycles. Some work needed for C support for C++ wide char and long long. I have a plan to fix that and that is in progress. The STLPort/SGI iostream lib also works with 3.1 and IMHO, has much better support for native file IO (include mem mapping of fstreams), and native locale interface, so may be preferred option for mingw. Ada is a whole new ballgame for me, but if you liked algol and pascal, you'll be interested in ada. ObjC: I need help. I plan to release binaries of above when GCC 3.1 is formally released in April. I have not bothered to make 3.0.x releases because I could not keep up with that branch and mainline. The code base in 3.1 has changed substantially from 3.0 branch Danny > > > _______________________________________________ > MinGW-users mailing list > Min...@li... > > You may change your MinGW Account Options or unsubscribe at: > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mingw-users http://my.yahoo.com.au - My Yahoo! - It's My Yahoo!
