Selecting dialects for C++

Imported source files must contain C++ code that complies with the ANSI/ISO C++ standard. In practice, there are many dialects of C++ in use, some reflecting various stages in the evolution of the language.

About this task

The dialect setting determines the default dialect. In addition, it can add a list of dialect-specific preprocessing switches to the user-defined switches. The Reverse Engineering tool understands the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 (MSVC60) dialect.

To select this dialect in IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® Developer for C++:

Procedure

  1. In the Add Preprocessing Symbol window, select the Load Dialect radio button.
