looking for c++ for MacOS

[Rex Roger]

I'm looking for a C++ compiler for MacOS (10.3), any
suggestion on what currently available.

Roger:

Sure, c++ comes with OS X if you install the Xcode packages. It's
basically
g++ with some patches related to how OS X works which is a little
different than
other unix os'es.

Use XCode. It's free from Apple. You should have a CD with it for 10.3
(that would be XCode, version 1.5) or you can download it free. I think
you want to stay away from the new XCode 2.0 since it is intended for
the new OS X upgrade, Tiger.

XCode is pretty powerful (based on g++) although there is a slight
learning curve.

XCode should do the trick on Panther 10.3.9. You have gcc 3.3 to work
with. I like the fact that it also compiles obj-c++, which, for the
most part, I think of as "C++ without having to use include guards".

obj-c++? Do you mean Objective-C, or yet another language?

[OT]Objective-C++ has nothing to do with include guards. It's about the
mixing of Objective-C and C++ code within the same translation
unit.[/OT]

True, but I just like using #import... Guess I'm just lazy.

#import is a gcc extension for all C-like languages, and also has
nothing to do with Objective-C++
