I need some help from the people who read net.lang.c++.
Actually, I'm on a roll. My last message was a request
for information about C++ availability. Now that I have
that, I have another question to ask of you all.
I would like to know why the people in this group
have decided to design their applications in C++.
I don't need an explanation of why Object-Oriented
programming is better; I wrote a thesis on that. I
would like to know why C++ is better for your purposes
than C. Have you found any drawbacks in C++? Do
you regret going to C++? Do you swear by it?
Can you do things in C++ that C would not allow? Have
your development times/costs dropped substantially?
Does it take more time or less time to bring new
developers up to speed? Have your maintenance times/costs
dropped substantially? Do you have any problems with
portability (many systems whose compiler don't have flexnames)?
Do you find that the lack of support from AT&T is
a drawback? Are there known bugs in the C++ compiler?
If you can answer these question, I would be most grateful.
Please send answers to me via e-mail and, as usual, I
will be more than happy to summarize for the net.
Thanx in Advance,
Elias Israel
