Re: [Swarm-Modelling] SWARM on Clusters

[Russell Standish]

I wasn't aware that we were discussing Objective C++. Indeed that is a
very interesting development.

In the past Objective C and C++ needed to be compiled separately, but
then linked together in one executable via their common C
interface. This is what is tedious and error prone.
