INSTALATION
Borland C++
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Borland C++ is a
C and
C++ programming environment (that is, an
integrated development environment) for
MS-DOS and
Microsoft Windows. It was the successor to
Turbo C++, and included a better debugger, the
Turbo Debugger, which was written in
protected mode DOS.
Libraries
Object Windows Library (OWL): A set of C++ classes to make it easier to develop professional graphical Windows applications.
Turbo Vision:
A set of C++ classes to create professional applications in DOS. Those
classes mimics some of the aspects of a Windows application like:
dialog boxes,
messages pumps,
menus, accelerators, etc.
On beginner's level Borland Compilers are very famous specially for
C graphics BGI Library which directly interact with Monitor without driver installation.
Add-ons
Borland Power Pack for DOS: Used to create 16- and 32-bit
protected mode DOS applications, which can access a limited scope of the Windows API and call functions in any Windows DLL.
Borland CodeGuard: Once installed and integrated within the
IDE, CodeGuard can insert instrumentalization code in the final
executables that can be used to monitor:
pointer usage,
API calls, how many times some function is called, and other features. If some error is found, a pop-up window appears, the
debugger can stop, or a log is written to disk. Delivered for 16- and 32-bit applications.
Version History
- Borland C++ 2.0 - (1991, MS-DOS)
- Borland C++ 3.0 - (1991) New compiler support to build Microsoft Windows applications.
- Borland C++ 3.1 - (1992) Introduction of Windows-based IDE and application frameworks (OWL 1.0, Turbovision 1.0)
- Borland C++ 4.0 - (1993, Windows 3.x) MS-DOS IDE supported no longer, included OWL 2.0.
- Borland C++ 1.0 - (1992, OS/2)
- Borland C++ 1.5 - (?, OS/2)
- Borland C++ 2.0 - (1993, OS/2)
Support for 2.1 and Warp 3. OWL 2.0. Included IBM SMART Toolset for
automatic migration of Windows applications to OS/2. Last version.
- Borland C++ 4.01
- Borland C++ 4.02 - (1994)
- Borland C++ 4.5
- Borland C++ 4.51
- Borland C++ 4.52 - (1995) Official support for Windows 95, OWL 2.5
- Borland C++ 4.53
- Borland C++ 5.0 - (1996, Windows 95) Released in March 1996. Works
on Windows 95 and Windows NT 3.51. It does not (officially) work on
Windows NT 4.0 (which was still in development at that time). 3rd party
tests exhibited some problems on NT 4.0. It does not work in Windows 3.x
or DOS. Despite that, it can produce either Win32, Win16 or DOS
programs.
- Borland C++ 5.01
- Borland C++ 5.02 - (1997) Final independent release of the Borland C++ IDE (subsequently replaced up by the C++Builder series), final release to support compilation to (real-mode) MS-DOS target. Windows NT 4.0 officially supported.
- Borland C++ Builder 4.0 + Borland C++ 5.02 - (1999) Bundle combination to facilitate the migration to C++Builder.
- Borland C++ 5.5 - Command-line compiler only (not with IDE).
Evolution of Borland C++
Borland C++ evolved in a number of steps:
- Turbo C++ → Borland C++ → Borland C++Builder → CodeGear C++Builder → Embarcadero C++Builder
