Sirs:

     I was wondering if a future release of GCC would include a
compilation module for both Objective-C and C++ in the same source
file.  Here at Mount Clemens General Hospital, we have built a sizable
C++ class base which we use for all low-level operations of our
Patient Care System which under design.

     Recently, management adopted the NeXT hardware for our operating
platform.  The NeXT supplied cc++ compiler which is a variant of G++
1.36.4, handles both Objective-C and C++ in the same source file.
This is useful since it allows us to wed our existing base of C++
classes with the Objective-C NeXTstep front-end smoothly - with C++
filling in strongly where Objective-C is lacking.

     I understand that G++ 1.36.4 was not fully matured with respect
to multiple-inheritance and other related issues which we use heavily
in our classes.  We have found, unfortunately, that this early version
of G++ and/or its marriage to Objective-C by NeXT has produced a
compiler which almost always core-dumps when we try to compile our
classes.

     Given that GCC-2.1 supports both C++ and Objective-C we were
wondering if, in the future, a module would be supplied which combines
the two.

     Thank you for all of your excellent software.
