Bug#271985: ITP: u++ -- Object-oriented concurrent language extensions for C++



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : u++
  Version         : 5.0.1
  Upstream Author : Peter Buhr

  Description     : Object-oriented concurrent language extensions for
C++

The uC++ project extends C++ with new constructs that provide
light-weight tasks on shared-memory uni- and multi-processors running
the UNIX operating system. uC++ clarifies and extends object-oriented
concurrency and provides more generality and functionality than
other systems (e.g., Concurrent C++, PRESTO, SR, and Ada). uC++
provides concurrency at the level of active objects with the following
capabilities: statically type-safe communication, direct and indirect
communication, the ability to postpone requests without inhibiting
concurrency, and additional capabilities, such as coroutines, clustering
of tasks and processors, and a highly concurrent non-blocking I/O
library.  g++ 3.3 is required in order to compile u++ programs.
