Message-ID: <3438@sri-arpa.UUCP> Date: Mon, 25-Jul-83 18:10:13 EDT Article-I.D.: sri-arpa.3438 Posted: Mon Jul 25 18:10:13 1983 Date-Received: Tue, 26-Jul-83 17:10:47 EDT Lines: 20 From: Preston MullenA couple of articles about a C language implementation extended with classes (much like Simula classes) have appeared recently. The most recent is "Adding Classes to the C Language" by Bjarne Stroustrup in Software -- Practice and Experience vol 13 No 2 February 1983. An earlier article by the same author appeared in ACM SIGPLAN notices January 1982. In the more recent article, the author (with Bell Labs in Murray Hill) says that the additions to the language have been implemented and are "now in use at close to a hundred installations". My question is, what installations? Is a compiler for this "extended C" part of any commercial Unix release? Can it be purchased separately? Is there any chance of it appearing in some future 4.Nbsd? P.S. It looks pretty nifty to me.
