Hi everybody!
I wanted to ask you something, I programmed a GUI in C++. I wanted to know if C++ is as portable as C code, I mean, can C++ code be easily ported to other platforms like Windows, Linux, Mac, XBox, etc? Are there any advices about this? Are all C++ functions supported in other platforms?
Thx in advance! Regards, Joy
>I wanted to know if C++ is as portable as C code<
Depends on the application you wrote......
>I mean, can C++ code be easily ported to other platforms like Windows, Linux, Mac, XBox, etc?<
Not really. Espically if your creating win32 centric GUI's.....
mfc2themax-Creator of all that is.
Generally speaking, C++ is just as portable as C code as long as it's ANSI standard. Speaking of GUIs, most are not portable, because graphics and windowing tends to depend on the operating system i.e. Windows/Linux.
For a specific answer, specific facts would be helpful

She was so Blonde, she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice can because it said "Concentrate."
When in doubt, read the FAQ.
Then ask a smart question.
Sure, I know... In this case, windows and controls management code is independient of the OS. If Im not wrong, there are only 3 or 4 functions that must be provided for each OS/platform (input management and drawing functions)...I just wanted to know if functions like <dynamic_cast> and all those c++ functions can be supported by other systems.
Mhhh...is the STL supported in Mac and Linux? Can a program that uses the STL be considered 'portable'?
Regards...
