C++ and Java

[Alan Brown]

As a newbie I would like to ask what the difference in application (not
details) is between C++ and Java. In what situations would you use C++ in
preference to Java and vice versa?

I am not asking for personal opinions on which is the *best* language :)

In general, prefer programming systems that make programmers faster. (And
note that VisualBasic makes them slower, for example.)

So, you might want to go with a very-high level language that rapidly
encodes what you need with minimal futzing

Java is an attempt to impersonat such a high-level language, while keeping
enough {} style syntax to advertize to C++ users.

Use C++ if you like manually managing memory, virtual dispatch, array
bounds, etc. C++ encapsulates these things very well in systems like the
STL, but it still does not allow as much programmer speed as very-high level
languages.

If you need a very large and fast program, you must indulge in manual memory
management, array bounds checking, etc. So use C++ to write things like the
engines of databases or videogames.

And, in any language, write lots of unit tests.

Use Java if you want to write applications for the Java Virtual Machine, use C++ if you
want to write applications for everything else, or want to do systems programming.

As always the FAQ is a good place to start getting a handle on such questions.

In this case, FAQ items 6.5 and 6.6.

<url: http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/big-picture.html#faq-6.5>
<quote>
In 99% of the cases, programming language selection is dominated by
business considerations, not by technical considerations. Things that
really end up mattering are things like availability of a programming
environment for the development machine, availability of runtime
environment(s) for the deployment machine(s), licensing/legal issues of
the runtime and/or development environments, availability of trained
developers, availability of consulting services, and corporate culture/
politics. These business considerations generally play a much greater
role than compile time performance, runtime performance, static vs.
dynamic typing, static vs. dynamic binding, etc.
</quote>

The FAQ isn't perfect, though (what is?). It should have stated _main_
programming language selection. For example, long ago, in a galaxy far
far away, there was a Java project where we needed to maximize windows
(not possible in Java then), to deal with the Windows clipboard (not
possible in Java then except for pure text), and where we needed a decent
help system (not available in Java then); I implemented those things in
C++, used by the main Java code. Only a couple of months later a Java
help system much like the standard Windows one became available, and half
a year or so later Java got better support for clipboard operations, I
think, it's possible I have the timeline reversed now, t'was long ago. It
was easy to then switch from the C++ implementations to pure Java because
the interfaces were clean (a single language improves maintainability).

In an even earlier Java project, possibly even farther away, I created
interfaces to the Windows security system (access checks, impersonation)
in C++ -- impossible to do in Java then.

C++ lets you do those integration things that a canned language like Java
doesn't, and it lets you access hardware, and it can be more efficient for
some things, although the set of such things has become smaller and smaller
over the years (Java-like JIT compilation can be superior to a fixed once-
and-for-all C++-like compilation wrt. efficiency, but not always).

With C# there's less need for C++ because C# lets you access basic OS
functionality, but then, with C# it's easy to get stuck not only in the
Windows world, but in a particular version of Windows, .NET and toolset. C#
is great as a beginner's language, though. And so is Java, but IMO not quite
as good for that as C# (here's much room for opinion), the Turbo Pascal heir.

I am not asking for personal opinions on which is the *best* language :)

Ah, but you are... :-)

We should not confuse C# (or Java) with the underlying framework.

In particular, .NET facilities are the same for all languages.

Thanks for your reply. I meant I did not want to know who felt that one
language was the better, but in what circumstances would Java be better
than C++ or vice versa.

If you want to write an app that you compile once and it will run the
same on any machine, then use Java (though it does occasionaly have
slightly diffent behaviour between machines). If you want to get lower
level for speed, direct hardware access etc. such as games programming,
use C++.

Or if you want to create an applet which any user can run via a web
site, in any web browser, on most any machine, create a Java applet.
This could also be done via Javascript (a completely different language,
which has nothing to do with Java), but the Javascript version would be
more challenging if you wanted it to run on all machines and all
computers and Operating Systems, since their Javascript and DOMs
(Document Object Models) are not identical. The JVMs are much closer to
identical.

There are many commercial software packages written in C++ (over 95%).
There are very few written in Java.

Not sure where you got that wisdom from but it is factually untrue. I
sincerely doubt that 95% of the application being written today are C++.
That this may have been the case in the past (i doubt that as well, but
still) is irrelevant. At one point 95% of the programs were written in
assembler, that doesnt mean C++ wouldnt have been the better alternative if
it were available.

Note that i'm not claiming Java is better than C++ or anything else, each
has it's uses. But plenty of commercial apps have been written in Java, and
it's a fair bet a large portion of the websites you visit are powered by it
as well.

Note that he said commercial applications. That would preclude a lot of
custom web applications you may be banking on on the Java side of the
ledger.

That said, this kind of statistic is very difficult to ascertain. Most
commercial applications do not advertise what language they are written in.

Well, I was kidding. 30% Java is probably closer to reality.

But that 30% is a very significant 30%. Java's application servers really
did catch the C++ community off guard. C++ programmers look(ed) at all the
features that Java lacks and conclude(d) that C++ is(was) a superior
language. What they fail(ed) to look is what Java does provide over C++.
I've seen a good many experienced C++ programmers switch from scoffing at
Java to using Java. Few have moved in the opposite direction.

There aren't a whole lot who have looked at Java carefully and tried to
address the deficiencies of C++ as a result of their observations. I really
don't know what is happening with regard to C#, but I suspect there is a
growing challenge from that direction as well. C++ designers would do well
to examine the features that make these languages attractive. It really
isn't as simple as disallowing assignment in an if condition. To me the
three key aspects that make Java attractive are introspection, organization
and portability. I'll leave my dislike of the CPP off the list for now.

The significance of this directory entry is not as clear to me as it
apparently is to you.

It is certainly true that Microsoft is moving some of its development to the
..Net framework. Stroustrup acknowledges this when he comments "Some parts of
Visual Studio like the Base Class Libraries that ship with the .NET
Framework were written using C# but the C# compiler itself is written in
C++."

Bits and pieces of a variety of Microsoft apps are now written using C# (and
presumably one of the versions of managed C++). It remains to be seen how
far this change will go, but my understanding is that it has not yet gone
very far.

I haven't really followed the progress of the Mono Project but my impression

I'm not sure why running on a VM will necessarily be "very slow". Some
things might be marginally slower, such as loadtimes, but instructions are
instructions. Calling a single instruction from the hardware instruction
set is no different when it is done by a virtual machine or by a program
running directly on the OS. The big difference is likely to come from the
ability of the C++ compiler to optimize code for the OS. If people come up
with ways of doing that for bytecode executed on a virtual machine, the
only difference in performance will come from factors such as the ability
to arrange source code in ways that enhances performance such as using
compositors.

StarOffice may use Java for some things but I think it's primarily C++.

Obviously there's all the Java commercial development tools like IntelliJ
and JBuilder. Surprisingly, some versions of C++ Builder are also written
in Java (I know the earlier versions were native but the Mobile Edition I
have installed here is Java at least - I don't know if that's the case for
the latest full edition). Most of Oracle's admin tools were Java too last
time I used Oracle.

Other commercial Java desktop apps include Poseidon UML and SmartCVS.

Moving away from the desktop, there's lost of commercial mobile software
written for J2ME (mainly games).

That said, most commercial Java development is server side. Where Swing
is used commercially it tends, in my experience, to be in more bespoke
development rather than off-the-shelf software.

I know of two off the top of my head not written by Sun. Workbrain
is a payroll system my employer is currently implementing which is
written in Java. "Chrome" is a FPS game written in Java. And there
is LimeWire which claims to be the fastest file sharing program
available.
And if you count applications written by Sun, "StarOffice" isn't all
that bad.
Those are the examples I have used that I know are written in Java. I
am sure there are many more out there.

What makes you think that StarOffice is written in Java? I went to the site
of its close relative, OpenOffice, and there I read:

"The OpenOffice.org source code includes the technology which Sun
Microsystems has been developing for the future versions of StarOffice(TM)
software. The source is written in C++ and delivers language-neutral and
scriptable functionality, including Java(TM) APIs."

Other commercial Java desktop apps include Poseidon UML and SmartCVS.

Plus project planning tool GDPM Tools.

The big issue regarding Java desktop apps has to do with install
complexities; the C++ and Delphi worlds have better installers. In
theory, installing an app for Java should be as easy as the "xcopy
deployment" Microsoft claims for .Net, but just as with that
technology you need the runtime installed, and common libraries
referenced (not all install to lib/ext in a clean fashion).

JNLP and in particular the most common implementation - Java Web Start
- helps a lot though.

Sun has a list of Swing applications at

That was my understanding of the term. WikiPedia agrees, citing
shrinkware as a synonym:

However, I recognize that reasonable people can disagree on this matter

The significance of this directory entry is not as clear to me as it

It is certainly true that Microsoft is moving some of its development to the .Net framework. Stroustrup acknowledges this when he comments "Some parts of Visual Studio like the Base Class Libraries that ship with the .NET
Framework were written using C# but the C# compiler itself is written in
C++."
And C++ is/was written in "C", so what?

Bits and pieces of a variety of Microsoft apps are now written using C# (and presumably one of the versions of managed C++). It remains to be seen how
far this change will go, but my understanding is that it has not yet gone
very far.

Stroustrup was discussing the full range of C++ uses. Accordingly, the use

Assuming that C++ has managed to deliver on "you don't pay for what
you don't use," I don't see why you shouldn't be able to use it in
this case. Granted, the program might not do much more than define the
state table and a small FSM but it should still be more managable and
maintainable than if it were in assembly.

But I suspect I am drifting off topic :-)

No great surprise there. I have the 2000 edition and it functions rather

There's a significant amount of software that doesn't fall into either
of these buckets. There's a spectrum of solutions between "off the
shelf" and "custom"; some products are partially-to-mostly OTS but need
custom code to integrate them at a customer site.

Java is also pretty keen when you want a UI on a cross platform app, and
cannot justify distinct development branches. Dundjinni does this, so
they can produce a cross platform RPG mapping tool.

Matlab is apparently moving in this direction for their front end, as
X11 has performance implications that they are not entirely happy with,
and is not that well received on some platforms. In their case, they
would love one essential front end body of code that works on Linux,
Mac, and Windows platforms.
