Topic: Wanted - Parallel C++ Compiler.

Can anyone indicate a Parallel C++ Compiler (i.e., for Transputers, or a
network of workstations).

I am aware of that supplied by 3L Limited (Scotland, UK) for the IBM PC and
Inmos B004 Transputer boards. Are there any others? For Suns? Or,
preferably, a compiler supporting various platforms.

Also, is there a source for analysis of these compilers (speed, size of
generated code, etc.)?

Thanks,

Paulo.

I used the 3L C compiler for some time, my oppinion is that this 3L C
is not C in any way. char [ sizeof(int)] for example does not work, if
you use floats in #define or use some level of #define containing again
#define ... the compiler says Too Complex !, the so called C++ compiler
produces C code for this 3L compiler. Why should it work ?
