Hi -
 
  I'm doing a project on object oriented programs for a class
this semester, and I would like to find some reasonably substantial C++
programs to look at.  I'm planning to instrument them to get some idea of 
the types of object-oriented operations that are typically used.  The 
motivation is to find out whether extensions to the processor architecture 
might improve performance radically; the Berkeley SOAR project had the
same objectives for SmallTalk and was quite successful.  I'm curious to
see if other object oriented systems would run well on the SOAR chip -
i.e. how general are their suggestions to OO programming?  Since there is
a good deal of debate as to exactly what an object-oriented language is,
I'm not planning to answer the question conclusively :-), but I hope to
make a start of it.
 
  One obvious problem is that "typical" use of C++ depends a lot on what
the application is and how familiar the programmer is with OOP - I have
written some C++ code which was basically C with the odd inline here and
there.  I need an application that beats on the object-orientedness
fairly hard; ideally I could find several applications to get some idea
of the spectrum of use.  Anyway, that gives you the idea.  If you have
any suggestions for finding good source code, I surely would appreciate
hearing them.  Please MAIL responses, so the net isn't bothered with
this ... I will summarize if I get responses that seem to be of general 
interest.
 
Thanks muchly ...
