C++ versus C:

Ricardo_RauppV — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 18:58:41 GMT

Hi folks!

After many years of C programming, I decided to give a chance to C++ / UML to be my platform to development; that is, Object Oriented (OO) perspective.

I understood it can brig many facilities that goes beyond code lines.

Have you some experience about C++ in ColdFires environments?

Hi Ricardo,

we are doing nearly everything in C++. You can benefit from many existing projects and standards like STL, Boost, etc. Our RTOS has a nice C++-interface, too.

You can even produce your C++-code with MS Visio.

best regards

Dirk

Vert thanks for your comments.

As I mentioned, I´m a totally brand new C++ player.

a) What is MS Visio?

b) What is STL, Boost ?

c) I use Codewarrior for many years.

Do you use it also?W ould you have some tips about IDE?

d) I´m building a framework specially based on Quantum Framework (www.quantum-leaps.com). Did you build your on framework / OS ?

Thanks!

Hi Ricardo,

sorry for answering so late...

MS Visio is a Softwaretool by Microsoft. You can create diagrams and much more with it. UML and so on. From the Structure you create in Visio, you can generate C++ Code. But I think it's not for C++ beginners. You have to know, what you do with Visio. So better learn from scratch.

A good point to start is at cplusplus.com

b) STL is the Standard Template Library, which holds many solutions for many problems. e.g. lists, maps, strings, sort, search, streams, ... Have a search with your favourite searchengine for STL and you'll find tons of information.

Boost is also a library for C++ extensions. They cover many topics like container, strings, io, memory, network, graphics ...

c) We use an eclipse-addon for development, which is designed for our processor and rtos.

There is a free gnu toolchain for eclipse, too. You'll find it in the forum.

d) We build our own framework

I hope you can go on a little further, although this is not very much information. But better you look at the sources for STL and Boost, than let me write about it.

bye

Dirk
