I happened to be the moderator "on duty" when I got an announcement message for U++ submitted to comp.lang.c++.moderated yesterday. To do due diligence, I checked out the URL given in the message, which led me here. I haven't had time to grok all of U++, but I hope to find a good use for it. The whole idea behind U++ appeals to me.

Some newbie questions, though... Does U++ had a TDD library (such as CPPUnit)?

So far there seems to be bazaar/UnitTest++.

Quote:

I see that there is an initiative to compose a book about U++. Is the documentation in a form that would make extraction of a book/course notes/tutorial/etc possible from a single body of documentation?

More or less. I believe the possible answer to this question is this website, which is (except the forum) regenerated each night from U++ documentation sources (using U++ code, there is 'uppbox/uppweb' package that does just that).

There is an initiative to generate the book, I believe it should not be that hard, using similar process. We can certainly output topics (U++ doc unit) to pdf just as easily as to html.

Bigger problem is that docs unfortunately still lag behind, way too many parts are still not covered.
