I just recently finished a project written in C++ for the palm. It wasn't that
difficult, but here are a few of the observations I have:
1)You can't create mulitple definitions for a function. If I want to methods to call
a function, each with a different set of args, Codewarrior won't compile. It
complains that the function has been redefined.
2)Destructors don't seem to work at all.
As for the request response loop. It was actually pretty simple to get around once I
created the basic Form class. I was able to pipe all of the general requests to the
base class and handle anything else I wanted to in the sub-class. This is essentially
what Microsoft has done with MFC. I had to tweak the main request response loop so it
wouldn't care which class was currently being displayed, but once that worked,
everything else fell into place.
I think the only thing palm is missing for the OO'ness is the PFC. That's something
palm developers themselves could start writing themselves. Eventually, you have a
nice set of classes that run and create all the stuff you need to build an app quickly.
