LLVM is "sponsored" by Apple, who are keen to see good Objective-C support; Objective-C++ isn't really a combination of C++ and Objective-C, its more a compatibility option between different libraries and APIs.

Eh, I'd say that's even more misleading.

In the same sense that Objective-C is a strict superset of C, Objective-C++ is a strict superset of C++, adding the same features to C++ that Objective-C adds on top of C.

In practice, this means that you can mix Objective-C++ and C++ in the same file (but you can't treat C++ classes and objects as Objective-C++ classes or objects, or vice-versa).


I think you've misinterpreted my post. I /generally/ agree with what you've said.
