[Opencxx-users] C++ standards support

[Hannu R. <han...@vt...>]

Hi,

Having just come across OpenC++, I've been trying to figure out which C++
features are supported.  In the mailing list archives, there are some references
to deficiencies in template support, and there's an expected-failure test for
typeid in the source tree, but I've found nothing definite.  Is there a
description somewhere of exactly which C++ features are supported?  How close to
full standard support are you?

And do such deficiencies, if any, actually matter in practical use of OpenC++ ? 
Any advice will be appreciated...

Best wishes,

Hannu Rummukainen

None that I know of.

It certainly depends a lot on what your practical use is going to be.
I would be glad to give more details, but I need some background on how do
you want to use OpenC++.

Best regards

I'm afraid I cannot give much details at this stage, but I'm developing a
complicated speed-critical library, and I had the idea of generating certain
kinds of methods for the library user automatically from a higher-level
description.  That's why I was checking out OpenC++, and what prompted my
question was that I wouldn't want to restrict the kinds of C++ code that could
be used together with the library.  Anyhow, it looks like I won't have time to
pursue the idea any further, so the question is moot on my part.

As an interested bystander, I would still like to suggest that you consider
documenting the current limitations of OpenC++.  It would be useful not only to
users and potential users, but it could also serve as a kind of to-do list for
development work.

Best wishes,

Hannu Rummukainen

Thanks for your suggestin, we will certainly pursue it once there are
resources available.
