Hi All - Can anybody provide any comments on the
C++ support in the Keil compiler (ARM7 target) ?
Specifically:
- completeness (though libstdc++ is not interesting for us)
- robustness

Thanks in advance,
Best Regards, Dave

PS: email me off-group if you like...

Last time I checked, the Keil chain was a commercialized version of
the GNU compiler.

When I do embedded C++, I get GCC from GNU and build it for my
target. I've never had that take more than 1/2 a day.

The ARM is a very well supported target in the GCC tool chain.

Then either your check was rather completely flawed, or your memory is.

Keil _tolerates_ people using GCC as a compiler for ARM projects within
their IDE to some extent, but that's about all the relation they ever
had to GNU tools.

Keil had their own C compiler for ARMs, but that was basically abandoned
after ARM took over Keil a while ago. Nowadays, the Keil ARM compiler
is ARM's own one.

I've forgotten things, and made mistakes before.

Any idea what I should be doing with the .tgz file I downloaded from
keil.com? The one that they were required to publish because of the
GPL code in their ARM compiler?

RK.

While I'm waiting for the Keil folks to call back,
I'd sure appreciate any feedback from folks
with C++ experience using the current Keil
product...

Thanks !
Best Regards, Dave
