Since when does C++ does support message passing?
since people started to think that "OOP was invented in C++".
The terminology "message" for "method" comes from Smalltalk. It
is used liberally.
C++ is using the OOP model of SIMULA, which did invent OOP! So
I'd say the way C++ does OOP is how it was invented.
SIMULA was created by Kristen Nygaard and Ole-Johan Dahl. Nygaard
was very much interested in object-oriented modelling and as a
mode of thinking about problems. Not only in programming. Dahl
went on to work on formal program verification. I had them as
lecturers at the university. Very interesting people.
