µC++

µC++ extends the C++ programming language in somewhat the same way that C++ extends the C programming language. The extensions introduce new objects that augment the existing panoply of control flow facilities and provide for light-weight concurrency on uniprocessor and parallel execution on multiprocessor computers running the UNIX operating system.

The µC++ translator reads a program containing language extensions and transforms each extension into one or more C++ statements, which are then compiled by an appropriate C++ compiler and linked with a concurrency runtime.
