Using Tools.h++
The Tools.h++ class library is a C++ foundation class library, an industry standard available in
the Guardian environment, in the OSS environment, and on the PC (Windows environment).
Two versions of Tools.h++ (version 7 and version 6.1) have been available since the D45 and
G05 releases. Only version 7 is available on TNS/E systems. Migration information is available
in Section 11, Collection Class Templates, of the Tools.h++ User’s Guide for version 7.0. A summary
is also available in Migration Considerations for Version 7 (page 92).
Using Tools.h++ with the Standard C++ Library:
• you can use Tools.h++ version 6.1 only with VERSION1 of the run-time library.
• you can use Tools.h++ version 7 only with VERSION2 of the Standard C++ Library.
• you cannot use any version of Tools.h++ with the VERSION3 Standard C++ Library, ISO/IEC
98, released at G06.20. However, much of the functionality of Tools.h++ is available in the
VERSION3 Standard C++ Library or can be easily built using components in VERSION3. For
example, RWCString can be recoded using string. The Smalltalk collection is not directly
supported in VERSION3, but can be coded by the user or ported from third-party software or
open source.
