A test version of GNU C++ (version 1.15.3) is now available on
prep.ai.mit.edu in the file ~rms/tiemann.dist-1.15.3.tar.Z .  It is
only available in compressed format, due to a severe space shortage on
prep.  GNU C++ is not a pre-processor, but is a native-code compiler,
using the back end of GNU CC for its back end.  Currently, GNU C++ is
targeted to the SUN 3 and VAX (the same machines as GNU CC).  A source
code debugger, GDB+, is also provided in the distribution.  GDB+ is
really an extension to GDB, and allows for better control over the
source level debugging of method calls.

The get GNU C++, ftp the compressed tar file from prep.ai.mit.edu,
uncompress it, untar it, and look at the file README in the dist-g++
directory for further installation instructions.

This code is primarily intended for GNU CC gurus, since it is still
evolving rapidly, and a good understanding of GNU CC is somewhat a
prerequisite for an understanding of GNU C++.

If you are generally interested in keeping up to date on GNU C++, I
invite you to subscribe to the list info-g++@prep.ai.mit.edu.  If you
have specific questions about GNU C++, regarding features, bugs, etc.,
and are interested in maintaining GNU C++, I invite you to subscribe
to bug-g++@prep.ai.mit.edu .  Send requests to
info-gnu-request@prep.ai.mit.edu .

Note that members of bug-g++ automatically receive all info-g++
messages, and all -g++ members get all -gcc messages as well (since
GNU C++ is dependent on GNU CC).
