Not "ages" in comparison to how long MetaWare had them. High C had this stuff back in the early 1990s and 1980s.

The headlined article doesn't mention it, but High C/C++ had modules all of those years ago, too. Anybase literals, as well. Tom Pennello participated in the standardization efforts back then, too, but none of this stuff made it in.




Is the manual online anywhere? The one for version 1.2 on Bitsavers[1] doesn’t mention any of those.

A later version is available here (along with the compiler itself): https://winworldpc.com/product/metaware-high-c-cpp/33x


I suspect not. I am lucky enough to be consulting this copy: https://mastodonapp.uk/@JdeBP/113199154771277394
