What is Symantec C++ 7.0?

In addition to 6.0’s integrated debugger, scriptable project manager, support for external editors, integration with Apple’s SourceServer, and on-line help for the standard C and C++ libraries, Symantec C++ 7.0 also provides:

• Improved C and C++ compilers
• Universal headers, facilitating PowerPC compatible source
• Inspector, a heap analyzer tool
• Think Class Library (TCL) 2.0, a fully C++ framework with support for persistent objects, AppleEvents, and scripting
• Visual Architect, a visual interface builder for TCL
• AppleScript 1.1
• A 60-day money back guarantee ...

Symantec C++ 7.0 is a big improvement over 6.0 and a good, full-featured environment. The C++ compiler itself, as well as almost every other component, is much more solid than in the 6.0.1 release, and is one of the most complete C++compilers available. The debugger’s ability to easily evaluate general C and C++ expressions on the fly is still unique on the Macintosh platform. The new THINK Inspector eases the burden of tracking heap-related problems. The inclusion and support of AppleScript, the updated TCL, and Universal Headers make this a well-rounded release. The biggest item missing is an available native PowerPC environment.
