This chapter describes how to compile and execute HP C++ programs on the HP-UX operating system. It presents the CC command and its options, which allow you to access the compiling system. You can compile HP C++ programs into C, assembly, object, or executable files. Optionally, you can optimize the code.

The chapter is organized into the following topics:

phases of the compiling system
compiling with CC
system library and header files
creating and using shared libraries
a complete example C++ program
executing HP C++ programs

The chapter concludes with a programming example illustrating the concept of object-oriented program development.
