aC++ Runtime (libCsup*, libstd*, libstream*,
librwtool*) (new
at 11i original release)
The aC++ runtime provides the run-time environment necessary for
deploying C++ based (aC++ compiled) applications on HP-UX 11i.
This release of the aC++ Runtime includes a new ANSI compliant
Standard C++ library. The previous version of the runtime included the
"classical" C++ STL library that corresponds to the pre-standard (Sept.
1998) definition of the C++ language and library. The updated C++
runtime included for HP-UX 11i retains the classical C++ library
functionality but it also includes new components (libstd_v2 and
libCsup_v2) that introduce a standard compliant set of C++ interfaces,
as required by the "ISO/IEC 14882 Standard for the C++ Programming
Language".
The added components, libstd_v2 and libCsup_v2, are new libraries
with functionality that did not exist prior to this release of the C++
runtime. The details of the newly added libraries are covered in:
• file:/opt/aCC/html/libstd_v2/stdug/index.htm
• file:/opt/aCC/html/libstd_v2/stdref/index.htm
which are available after installation of version A.03.25 or later of the
aC++ product.
Over time, with the acceptance of the new library, it is expected that the
old classic library will be deprecated and possibly removed from some
future operating system release.
Detailed manpages for the new library is included with the Independent
Software Unit release. It is also discussed in the aC++ Online Help.
Impact
Overall (file) size of the C++ runtime will increase by about 44%, with 10
new libraries.
Provides access to the standard compliant C++ library for application
developers (and deployment of such applications). This is by far the most
