Actually, it depends on what you mean by "writing in C++". Building a fully object-heavy program for the Palm, as if it were a desktop system, is probably something you might want to think about before jumping into. Writing using all .cpp files is fairly simple, and doesn't add much to your program. (Since it looks like the main reason the OP wants to do this is for compatibility with a C++ library, this sounds close to the path he might want to take.) The main things to watch out for are RTTI (Run-Time Type Identification) and virtual functions within objects; there are some issues regarding those that can probably be found by searching the archives of this group. (And I'd like to make a plea for helpful messages on this forum; messages saying only, "It is true" don't really add much to the understanding of the original poster. If someone's going to take the time to post, I'd urge them to attempt to provide reasons or background for their claims; it provides a more helpful message, as well as letting people know whether what the poster is talking about is even applicable to their question.) -- For information on using the PalmSource Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
