1.1 _O_n_l_i_n_e__R_e_l_e_a_s_e__N_o_t_e_s
After you install the online documentation for a product
(the relnotes subsystem), you can view the release notes on
your screen.
If you have a graphics system, select Release Notes from the
Help submenu of the Toolchest. This displays the
grelnotes(1) graphical browser for the online release notes.
For information on options to this command, refer to the
grelnotes(1) man page.
If you do not have a graphics system, you can use the
relnotes command. For information on accessing the online
release notes using this command, refer to the relnotes(1)
man page.

1.4 _C_+_+__C_o_m_p_i_l_e_r__G_e_n_e_r_a_l__I_n_f_o_r_m_a_t_i_o_n
The MIPSpro 7.3 C++ compiler is an environment for compiling
programs written in the C++ programming language. This
environment allows access to standard IRIX features and to
the Graphics Library. The MIPSpro 7.3 release of the
compiler is a native C++ compiler based on a front end from
the Edison Design Group(TM).
The MIPSpro 7.3 C++ compiler requires the installation of
the following subsystems:
+o c++_fe
+o c++_dev
+o c++_eoe
+o compiler_eoe
+o compiler_dev
For descriptions of the compiler_dev and compiler_eoe
subsystems, see their respective release notes. The
following sections provide a brief description of the
c++_fe, c++_dev, and c++_eoe subsystems, respectively.
1.5 _C_+_+__C_o_m_p_i_l_e_r__F_r_o_n_t__E_n_d
The MIPSpro 7.3 C++ compiler front end (c++_fe) is
separately packaged in the c++_fe subsystem. The C++ front
end consists of the n32/64-bit compiler version, the 32-bit
compiler version, release notes, and the online compiler man
page, CC(1). For more information about 64-bit and high
performance 32-bit interfaces, see the _M_I_P_S_p_r_o _6_4-_b_i_t
_P_o_r_t_i_n_g _a_n_d _T_r_a_n_s_i_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e and the _M_I_P_S_p_r_o _N_3_2 _A_B_I
_H_a_n_d_b_o_o_k.

1.6 _C_+_+__D_e_v_e_l_o_p_m_e_n_t__P_a_c_k_a_g_e
The C++ development package (c++_dev) consists of a driver,
utilities, libraries, include files, a copy of the release
notes, and C++ manuals.
1.7 _C_+_+__C_o_m_p_i_l_e_r__E_x_e_c_u_t_i_o_n__E_n_v_i_r_o_n_m_e_n_t__(_E_O_E_)
The C++ compiler EOE (c++_eoe) contains release notes and
C++ run-time libraries supplied as DSOs (dynamic shared
objects). The C++ EOE supports 64-bit, 32-bit and high
performance 32-bit compilation modes. DSOs are discussed in
the dso(5) man page.
NOTE: If you plan to run any C++ based applications,
it is important to note that you must install
the C++ compiler EOE.
1.8 _P_a_t_c_h_e_s
WorkShop 2.8 users who want to use the Fix and Continue
feature for n32 must install patch 3659.
