C++ Gets in Sync With More Operating Systems, Compilers
Rogue Wave updates SourcePro offering
By Jennifer deJong

August 15, 2005 — Rogue Wave Software has added new names to the long list of operating systems, compilers and databases with which its C++ toolkit works.

The Boulder, Colo.-based company last month announced SourcePro C++ edition 8. The suite of components and libraries eases the process of writing C++ applications that can run on Linux, Windows and various Unix operating systems and that work with a host of compilers and databases, said Rogue Wave senior product manager Shannon Lewis.

Edition 8 increases to 50 the total number of supported operating systems and compilers, she said.

New operating systems include IBM AIX 5L 5 v5.3 for Power5/RS6000, Hewlett-Packard HP-UX 11i v2, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, Sun Solaris 10 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9.

This release supports Intel C++ 8.1, Microsoft Windows 2003 SDK (for Itanium2), IBM XLC++ 7 and Sun Studio 9 and 10 compilers, as well as the following databases: IBM DB2 8.2, IBM Informix 2.90, MySQL 4.1.x and Sybase ASE 12.5.2.

SourcePro is aimed at ISVs and other developers that need to migrate C++ applications from one platform to another. Because it defines a high-level API, developers can write platform, compiler and database independent code.

The company was acquired in 2003 by Englewood, Colo.-based Quovadx, which makes business process management and other applications for the health-care industry.

Because Rogue Wave’s offerings are aimed at professional developers, the two product lines are not expected to merge.

“They serve different audiences,” said Lewis.
