C++ features in LINUX?

[anchitgood]

Hey,
I have developed a project on C++, but under windows. But we have got
to run it in an open source (LINUX). Can anyone tell me what features
of C++ are not supported in Linux ? Like i have heard Linux doesn't
support esception handling and destructors. Similarly what about
strings and other C++ features (say class, inheritance etc.) ?
Thank you

What utter nonsense.

The OS has nothing to do with C++ language support.

If anything, people insist on using VC6 under Windows and calling it "C++".

C++ is C++. The default compiler on Linux is the Gnu g++ compiler,
which is standard compliant (with the exception of "export", but
almost nobody except the people using the EDG front end supports that).

Linux (like Windows) doesn't support any "language", per se
(although it has a net preference for C). C++, like just about
every other language I know, is defined independently of the OS.
Whether a particular C++ feature is supported depends on the
compiler, not the OS, and off hand, the latest versions of VC++
and g++ seem more or less equal here, with probably a slight
edge for g++.

The real problem today in porting applications is that there are
very few applications written to use just the language. C++
makes it very easy to call a C API, and both Linux and Windows
use a C API, which means that in both languages, it is very easy
to use native OS features. And the language doesn't support a
number of very useful functionalities , like threads, windowing,
sockets, etc.; which means that programs using these do have
some system dependencies at places.

Thanks for the ROTFL moment. It really made my day.

Actually, that's not true, if by Linux you mean what Linux actually is (an
operation system kernel, and _only_ the kernel).
If you want to do Linux kernel programming, like writing a device driver,
some C++ features like exceptions might indeed not work correctly, since
C++ is not supported for kernel programming.

I wonder how much of such nonsense is circulating and influencing
decision making...

As far as i know there is no Linux C++ standard or Windows C++
Standard. But C++ as language has a standard which not dependent to OS
i think. No matter what Operating System you use C++ has its own
standard, which means language features remain same no matter what
operating system you use.

I believe the problem that you face is related to the working of
functionality of your library.

Correct me if anything is wrong in what i stated!
