ΜC++

|
μC++, also called uC++, is a programming language, an extension of designed for concurrent programming. Among other features, it adds coroutines, tasks, and monitors, and extends existing language constructs to integrate with them. Its compiler, named u++, operates as a source-to-source translator targeting C++. μC++ is part of the μSystem project, at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, a large-scale project led by professor Peter Buhr with the goal to create a "highly-concurrent shared-memory programming system". It is used in the CS 343 course at the University of Waterloo. Every μC++ program should include the uC++.h header file before any other header, although this is not necessary for more recent versions. uC++ is now open source, available on GitHub. Keywords The following keywords are implemented in uC++ to provide extended functionality on class implementations, exception handling capabilities, and scheduling: * _Accept - enables external scheduling within monitors. _Accept allows a caller permission to obtain mutual exclusion over a method within the monitor * _At - raises a non-local exception at the argument * _CatchResume - catches an exception but follows the rules of resumption of a caller * _Monitor - an extension of a C++ class that permits a class to also operate as a monitor * _Cormonitor - an extension of a C++ class that permits use of a class as both a monitor and a coroutine (using suspension and resumption as well as mutual exclusion) * _Coroutine - an extension of a C++ class that permits coroutine based functionality * _Enable - enables non-local exception handling within a task * _Disable - disables non-local exception handling within a task (default) * _Event * _Mutex - enables mutual exclusion on a class member * _Nomutex - disables mutual exclusion on a class member * _Select - allows blocking on wait for access to a future (Future_ISM<T>, Future_ESM<T>) * _Resume * _Task - an extension of a C++ class with its own stack and thread control; mutually exclusive by default * _Throw - allows non local exception throwing * _When - an argument condition to an accept statement similar to a condition
