You can still add g++, boost and other high-quality C++ libraries to OpenBSD via ports/packages. They just prefer plain C in the base install. Plain C is inline

You can still add g++, boost and other high-quality C++ libraries to OpenBSD via ports/packages. They just prefer plain C in the base install. Plain C is inline with their "keep it simple" philosophy.
- tedunangst 16y agog++ hasn't gone anywhere.
- henryprecheur 16y agoIndeed, just to make it clear: There's no more C++ code in the OpenBSD's base, but g++ the C++ compiler is still present. I don't think that g++ will be removed. Too many things are written in C++. And as long as GCC is present in OpenBSD, there's no reason to remove G++.

- 16s 16y agoI believe they are working on pcc (for various reasons).
