μC++ Annotated Reference Manual

This package contains the documentation about using the μC++ compiler from the University of Waterloo. μC++ is a dialect of C++, extending C++ with new constructs that provide advanced control-flow including light-weight concurrency on shared-memory uni- and multi-processor computers running UNIX and Linux operating systems. μC++ provides new kinds of classes, including coroutines, which have independent execution states; tasks, which have their own threads; and monitors, which allow for safe communication among tasks. These new classes can take part in inheritance, overloading, and templates, just like other classes. As well, C++ exception handling is extended, allowing exceptions to propagate among coroutines and tasks. Additional capabilities include: clustering of tasks and processors, object-oriented non-blocking I/O for files and sockets, and support for real-time programming.
