PSP Programming Language?

[Vertana]

Do you know why C++ won't work on Phat PSP? I was hoping eventually I could make features that would auto detect the PSP version and adjust memory usage accordingly. If I went for C++ would there be things I could not do on PSP that I could do with C? (Just preparing for roadblocks ahead)

C++ doesnt work on any psp , not just phat ... except lte(a game engine) that uses C++ but i dont know how , check out its site if you wanna find out ... and you can detect PSP version and adjust memory ... but you have to do it in C with psp sdk's Functions .

C++ does work on the any psp... and not just for lte.
i use C++ to code for the psp.
if you can't get your code to compile or run, your doing something wrong.

you mean you can use oop for you psp programs ?

i mean i can use the programming language C++ that is a object oriented programing language.

so yea.

im sure most of the other devs here use C++ as well. not saying that asa fact, but im pretty sure. i suppose you could just ask them so...

all other devs that happen to read this, please post what language you use primarily for the psp.

how ???? ??? even if i write "object obj;" it gives me an error . i use minpspw. i havent seen anywhere in psp-hacks or psp-programming tutz. all the types such as OSL_FONT , OSL_IMAGE ,SceKernelLoadExecVSHParam are structs . i havent seen any object any where , could you post a oop hello world program please ?

Yes you may use C++ with the psptoolchain. Make sure your source file extension is '.cpp' and you add '-lstdc++' to your LIBS line in your makefile.

eg:
main.cpp

class cObject
{
  private:
    int x;
  
  public:
    cObject(const int i) : x(i) {}
    ~cObject();

    void print()
    {
      std::cout << "X = " << x << std::endl;
    }
};

int main()
{
  cObject myObj(5);
  cObject *ptrObj = new cObject(5);

  myObj.print();
  ptrObj->print();

  return 0;
}

Makefile

... blah blah ...

LIBS = ... -lstdc++ ...

... blah blah ...

im trying to learn how to code, i need the internet on my pc though for some things such as downloading (all websites with download countdowns dont work on psp internet, SG57 could you maybe look at my thread called "help me!" and see if you can help?

shit $%#$ @%%@#&* ahhhhhhh .then im sorry for posting bull shit and thanks for info. what about module information and exit call back ... ?
EDIT :
returned error :

main.cpp (13) : error: 'cout' is not a member of 'std'
main.cpp (13) : error: 'endl' is not a member of 'std'

to print to the psp's debug screen, you have to first initialize it.
pspDebugScreenInit();

iirc thats the function, then to print to it you call
pspDebugScreenPrintf();

which most people #define it as printf
so you can use it like the old C function.

cout and endl are for printing to the console screen on platforms that support it. the psp doesn't altho if you recode the pspsdk then you could add it in im sure..

anyway it takes arguments in the format.

pspDebugScreenPrintf(char*,...) iirc

so the string to print and the format specifiers.
