Μc++ is a dialect of c++, extending c++ with new constructs that provide advanced control-flow including light-weight concurrency on shared-memory uni- and multi-processor computers running unix and linux operating systems. μc++ provides new kinds of classes, including coroutines, which have independent execution states; tasks, which have their own threads; and monitors, which allow for safe communication among tasks. these new classes can take part in inheritance, overloading, and templates, just like other classes. as well, c++ exception handling is extended, allowing exceptions to propagate among coroutines and tasks. additional capabilities include: clustering of tasks and processors, object-oriented non-blocking i/o for files and sockets, and support for real-time programming.
