I think the only major difference languge-wise is the lack of support for C++ exception handling (it wasn't standardized at the time the EPOC32/Symbian programming model was defined). Symbian 9 is adding that.

Otherwise the differences are OS/API differences, not C++ language differences.

Hi,


Is this statement really correct..?

if it is correct then what about new(), and delete(), usage and level of multiple-inheritance,object creation and deletion, two-phase construction and etc., in symbian enviroment. ?

My understading is that symbian uses object-orientation, and is written in C++, with a tiny bit of assembler thrown in at the lowest levels. This means that was varity of application are written in C++. The use of C++ in symbian is not exactly the same as C++ in other environment.

Any one explain me more in detail. ??
