How to write Java style classes in C++

Some of you may enjoy this style of programming:

I am aware that this post will generate a lot of complaints that this
is not how one is "supposed" to program C++, but if you do, please
quantify why you think its bad :)

Is easy: if you want the style of another language, just use that language,
or design another one with the same ideas.

Perhaps you could point me to some realtime Java compilers for various uP in
that case...?

Then write in C++, not Java.

It would be really easy to catch "traditiona l" C++ programmers off
guard with some of these constructs... Especially the

struct something {
#include "ALotOfStuf f.h"
#include "SomeMoreStuff. h"
};

If I saw that in production code, I would resign on the spot and become
a cabby in Tbilisi.

Also, in Java the idea is that everything is in a class. Sure, one can
do this in C++:
#include <iostream>

class Application {
void Run() {
std::cout << "Never mind main()! Use global objects!\n"
}
public:
Application() {
Run();
}
} myGlobalApplica tion;

int main() { return 0; }

But the net gain is a loss. Seems silly to me to ignore the ability to
use free functions in C++...

No. Ask in a more adequate group, search the web... or write one.

Well, unfortunately I have to get real stuff done for real money to real timescales.

So, some reason why I should not take up the suggestion offered by the original
poster in order to make life easier?

So do many of us, but that doesn't mean we get snippy when someone
advises us that posting a question in comp.lang.c++ about the
availability of Java compilers is a bit misguided. Creates a bit of a
signal-to-noise problem for those of us reading this thread to see
responses to the OP's idea.

Your code will be difficult to read and understand for both Java and C++
programmers.
