Thread: C++ serial port programming

hi,
is there a way with the STL or some c++ standar class to use the serial port?
i know you can use win32 api's, etc to use that, but I need to know if you can do it in pure c++
any idea, link, tutorial or document?

thanks for any help

Hardware devices are too specific to your OS to ever make the grade as being "standard"

You can get pretty close if you choose POSIX as your standard (in terms of API calls), but that still leaves a bit of variability in the device naming.

ok it is true forgot about that, but is there a "custom" class that is popular or a "popular custom class" for working wit serial communications? (for the win32 environment)


thanks for reply

Here is a C++ class for performing serial communications in Win32 - and it's popular to me.

great!
will try it
thanks a lot
