I know one of the problems with C++ in OS/400 is that C++ has been available for a short time, at least as a native compiler because until some month ago you needed to compile the programs using Visual Age for C++ in the PC and then move the compiled objects to the AS/400 (I never used it so maybe I'm wrong)
I really don't think too many people is using C++ in OS/400 because of these kind of problems. Anyway, I think its APIs are more or less POSIX compliant so maybe the porting of part of the Common C++ library is not too difficult...
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Hi,
I'm just starting to use Common C++ and I would like to know if someone had tried to migrate or use some of these classes in OS/400.
Regards,
Jordi
I have no information on this. It would be interesting to see....
