Borland Turbo* is back?
In case people haven't seen the announcements... http://turboexplorer.com/ There's a claim of ANSI and Boost compatibility in the Turbo C++ product. Does this mean that this is the new compiler series? -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - grafikrobot/yahoo

"contains support for" likely doesn't mean "conforms to". In advertisements it usually means "we tried". Regards, m Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com

Those claims appear also on the BCB2006 boxes. Given that this is a new low price product line I expect them to be stripped down versions of the main products. Most likely a response to VC++ Express. Cheers, Nicola Musatti

That's "standard" stuff on compilers packages. Unfortunately.

If they only made the source code available... then it would really be "back again" in a couple of years. -- [ Gennaro Prota, C++ developer for hire ]

Borland never fixed about 10 compiler bugs I reported to them over 4 years ago on their on-line big reporting system called Quality Central, most taken from Boost compiler regression tests run years ago and a number of them blindingly obvious and simple to understand. One report was a bug I reported directly to them over 6 years ago even before Quality Central was created and which I re-reported to them in Quality Central 4 years ago. As a claim has been made one one of their NGs that they "only" have 100 or so bugs listed but not fixed from reports that have occured in the pasr, I checked all the cases I had reported and found that NOT A SINGLE ONE has ever been fixed according to Quality Central. So I would very surprised if all of a sudden they have a largely C++ standard compiler in a "new" product.
