ST20-SWC++ Preprocessor
1Product Overview
The C++ Preprocessor is derived from
tories Inc.
SGS-THOMSON Microelectronics has developed its own tools and libraries so that the C++ compiler,
used in conjunction with the ANSI C T oolset, can be used to programme ST20 and transputer targets.
The C++ Preprocessor is available for two development platforms:
ST20-SWC++/PC C++ Preprocessor for IBM PC under MSDOS 5.0
ST20-SWC++/SUN C++ Preprocessor for Sun 4 under SunOS 4.1.3 or Solaris 2.4
C++ Language System
version 3.0.3 of UNIX System Labora-
1.1C++
C++ is a general purpose programming language which has evolved from C. It combines the benefits
of object orientated programming with the efficiency of C.
Its benefits include:
Strong Type Checking
Helps reduce coding problems.
Encapsulation
Constructing large applications is easier by using C++ classes. A C++ class is a user defined
type which may contain data to represent the type, and member functions to implement operations on the type.
Data Abstraction
Ease maintenance and product evolution by restricting access to a class’s implementation
details.
Multiple Inheritance
Classes may inherit properties from other classes. This enables classes (and hence effort)
to be reused.
Dynamic Binding
Use function names consistently, independent of object type, as class members may be
bound dynamically at run-time (virtual functions).
Type-Safe Linkage
Provides function argument checking across different compilation modules. This enables the
correct function to be acquired by a linker when several alternatives are available in the presence of function overloading.
Parameterized Types (Template)
Allows users to define a type in terms of another, unspecified type, providing a facility for
defining extensive standard libraries.

1.2Use with the ANSI C toolset
The following capabilities of the ANSI C toolset can be used from C++:
Target processor support library, including functions for using the hardware micro-kernel.
Multiprocessor configuration tools, for building programs to run on networks of IMS
T4xx/T8xx transputers.
