     Sun C++ is essentially AT&T's Cfront, although with some changes by
Sun, I'm sure.  My primary complaints about Sun C++ are compile speed and
debugging.  As a translator, Sun C++ (and all other translators) are
abhorrently slow.  The version of dbx Sun has modified to debug C++ code is
not completeley debugged.  The occasional problems with this version of dbx,
dbx++ as I've taken to calling it, are annoying in the most irritating ways.
