Features

The major Ultimate++ features are:

  • Currently supports Unix/Linux/FreeBSD (X11), Microsoft Windows and Windows CE.
  • Includes an IDE and a GUI designer.
  • Uses heavily RAII and auto pointers-like mechanisms to avoid manual memory management and even to limit the use of pointers in the code
  • Can emulate native widgets look and feel. On X11 systems, Ultimate++ supports GTK+ widgets look and feel.
  • Standard distribution comes with Ultimate++ sources included, even the IDE ones.
  • Uses NTL as template system instead of STL.
