I have a multi-tastking Ada application which runs on OS/2, Windows XP and Linux. Can you do that in C++ without the use of "#if". Here is the problem of plugged on solution: they are not compatible between operating system and compiler vendors. And even if you find a lib who can all three - I just ask a Mac-OS and Solaris user on comp.lang.ada to run a test - The Ada multithreading is part of the ISO/IEC 8652 standart - you recompile it on the next system and it runs. > C++ is not only an OO language, but it is a multiparadigm one. So is Ada only with a few more paradigms build in and not plugged onto by external libraries. Again "build in" means defined by "ISO/IEC" - everything else does not count when comparing languages.
