Supported C++ compilers

Supported C++ compilers

[Daniel Jacobowitz]

What other compilers besides GCC 2.x and GCC 3.3 do we support C++ in?  The
third ABI we support is HP's, so presumably the native HP/UX compiler.  Are
there any others; vendor compilers matching one of the GCC ABIs, for
instance?

Also, if anyone reading this has and can share access to the HP/UX compiler
in question, I'd tremendously appreciate it.  I can probably simplify quite
a bit of this code, but I'd like to do it without murdering the HP/UX
support.  If it's still current, at least.

Intel's C++ 6.0 (not released yet) will be abi compatible with g++ 3.0.

Other than that, there really aren't that many more ABI's out there.

I have an account on a computer that has aCC on it, given to me for just
this purpose.

I believe GDB is supposed to support the old Sun Forte ABI.

Um, no, Sun C++ 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3 use a different ABI.
4.x used what is considered the "old forte ABI".

7.0 ea1 (Sun C++ 5.4) claims to be compatible with 5.0,5.1,5.2, and 5.3, 
so it hasn't changed abi, afaict.

Hi!

If by old Sun Forte ABI you mean Sun Workshop 5 C++ or Forte 6 C++ (which
are really Sun C++ 5.0 and 5.3) I can say that it is NOT SUPPORTED and I got
a pretty nasty response from the group when I asked if it is supported (OK,
so I had read the Sun PR which said that the Sun ABI was "compliant" and I
asked if GDB will interoperate with a "compliant" ABI and that got some
feathers ruffled :-).  But I would REALLY appreciate it if you can verify
this is true and I can use GDB instead of the HORRIBLY, HORRIBLY broken dbx
that Sun ships with C++ 5.0 and 5.3 (I cannot switch to GDB yet because my
3rd party libraries are only certified against Sun C++ which does not debug
with GDB).

Thanks!
