It's still 95% Gtk + 5% Gtkmm > Two questions about the sentence above: > > - What improvements or benefits did you find to switch to C++? - have real objects with methods. It helped me to better organize my code which i failed with C even when i tried to fake OO. Simple class with simple methods works great. - was able to design some parts in a clean way with virtual functions. - simplified a lot of code while moving datastructures from glib (GArray, GList, etc) to STL (vector, list, set, etc). - Gtkmm smart pointers helped me to fix/secure some g_object reference counting issues. - type safety - some smart but simple template code instead of writing huge switch aroung GValue. C++ means less code. You can almost write C and yet use some little and smart C++ techniques to save code. I didn't rewrite anything. I made the C code compile in C ++ and then started cleanups. I believe in incremental improvement. > - Is it going to be a C++ application from now on?
