- Chris,
- I've been using C++ on the Crays for about 2 years now. The system is
- based on AT&T CFront which translates the code to C. Then, SCC compiles the
- code. This works out quite well for the Cray as C++ programs are able to
- take advantage of SCC's optimization capabilities. In particular, all
- loops in one of our codes vectorize. CRI has apparently started officially
- supporting C++ (with version 3.0 of CFront). This is a good news-bad news
- thing: the good news is that they've added some fairly useful extensions
- and pragmas; the bad news is that they are now charging a hefty price for
- the compiler.
