- noun Definition of c++ in Technology (language) One of the most used object-oriented languages, a superset of C developed primarily by Bjarne Stroustrup <[email protected]> at AT&T Bell Laboratories in 1986. In C++ a class is a user-defined type, syntactically a struct with member functions. Constructors and destructors are member functions called to create or destroy instances. A friend is a nonmember function that is allowed to access the private portion of a class. C++ allows implicit type conversion, function inlining, overloading of operators and function names, and default function arguments. It has streams for I/O and references. C++ 2.0 (May 1989) introduced multiple inheritance, type-safe linkage, pointers to members, and abstract classes. C++ 2.1 was introduced in ["Annotated C++ Reference Manual", B. Stroustrup et al, A-W 1990]. See also cfront, LEDA, uC++. 1
