6.1.1. Introduction

We are pleased to announce, to any interested parties, the availability of Version 3.4.4 of uC++ (pronounced micro-C++). uC++ extends the C++ programming language in somewhat the same way that C++ extends the C programming language. The extensions introduce new objects that augment the existing set of control flow facilities and provide for light-weight concurrency on uniprocessor and parallel execution on multiprocessor computers running the UNIX operating system. uC++ is not another thread package built on top of C++, but a comprehensive set of language extensions that integrate the notions of coroutine, mutual exclusion and concurrent execution into the language.
