ARC++, Version 2.0 Eliminates Unnecessary
Recompilations -- Increases Productivity Up To 15%
C and C++ Users Now Have Control
Landover, MD -- ARSoftware announced today the release
of ARC++, Version 2.0, the first C/C++ development tool
that improves productivity by eliminating the unnecessary
recompilations that result from header file editing. This
single feature gives the user virtual control over one of the
most time consuming C and C++ requirements, but Version
2.0 also provides over 30 extensions that further streamline
program development, including: exportable classes that
eliminate the need for header files; and intelligent macros
that provide encapsulated code generation. ARC++ is easy
to integrate with existing software development systems and
dramatically increases productivity while reducing delays
and frustration.
ARC++ provides immediate benefits for ongoing
development projects. With a few minor adjustments to the
existing Make or Project files, ARC++ automatically
analyzes if a header file change affects previously compiled
modules and alters the Make process accordingly, giving the
user virtual control over recompiles. Eliminating unwanted
recompiles is especially beneficial when a coding task
involves complex class libraries.
Exportable classes and packages in ARC++ produce
cleaner, more readable and easier to maintain code by
eliminating user-written header files, allowing integrated
class definitions, and modularizing the development of
function libraries.
ARC++'s intelligent macro capability reduces coding time
by automatically analyzing class definitions; they can loop,
branch, and access the parse tree/symbol table to generate
code based on previous declarations. Defined within C++'s
block structure, these macros are capable of being inherited
(unlike C preprocessor macros). Callback macros in
multiple base classes ensure that every derived class has the
appropriate support code generated, making it unnecessary
to hand code.
Some of the many time-saving extensions include:
Overloaded enumerators - Bound function pointers - Fully
prototyped Vararg functions - Automatic functions - Arrays
with bounds - Modify detection - User-defined operators -
Combination operators - User-defined modifiers - Hidden
arguments.
"ARC++ provides the technology, features and extensions
users need to quickly become more productive. The leaner,
more workable code eliminates a lot of the frustrating
delays and breaks in concentration that are so costly and
time consuming. In very little time, many of the routine
tasks performed by senior personnel can be performed by
others, allowing the more experienced personnel to perform
on a higher, more efficient level. ARC++ will also make it
easier for the novice to learn the C and C++ language,"
stated S.P.S. Anand, President and CEO of ARSoftware.
