Thanks Henry, I asked my question wrong. I was really wondering if anyone was working on a set of C++ tests, similar to the Python tests. Thanks, Mary

Hi Mary, It is my understanding that the existing C++ examples should work because the proton based C++ API the Qpid proper API with the proton C API under the covers. That said, I'm not sure what testing has been done to make sure this is true. Also it would seem that perhaps there might be two sets of examples (?). i.e. What happens to old style addresses in the new proton enabled C++ API? Do the still just work? Can I mix simple proton addressing with the more complex previous addressing that allowed us to build exchanges and queues?
