Some limitations (size of exceptions table) can be bypassed if you'll choose project target with disabled C++ exceptions handling. The resulting size of application is usually much smaller for such projects. Other limitations (first-segment size and virtual tables for non-global launches and) will be effectively solved by CodeWarrior 9 expanded mode. I think that there almost no obstacles for using C++ in corporative applications and variety of tools like address books and so on. Though, it may be a bad idea to write game or database engine using C++ :) It's fine to have different development tools for different tasks. > -- > Ben Combee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > CodeWarrior for Palm OS technical lead > Palm OS programming help @ www.palmoswerks.com _________________________________________ Best regards, Maks Pyatkovskiy -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
