C++ Class Library Overview

When working in C++, you interact with the SmartSockets C++ class library in these ways:

by constructing a C++ object using an appropriate class constructor, then invoking the member functions of that object

by invoking static member functions of a class without necessarily constructing any particular objects of that class

by deriving new C++ classes as subtypes of provided classes to extend or otherwise modify the behavior of SmartSockets classes

This chapter describes some features of the SmartSockets C++ class library. Additional reference material is available in HTML format. Access the reference material from the HTML documentation interface.

The TIBCO SmartSockets User’s Guide, TIBCO SmartSockets Application Programming Interface, and the TIBCO SmartSockets Utilities, which are companion reference documents to this manual, describe RTserver and all other features using the C programming language API. Most SmartSockets class member functions are simple C++ wrappers around a corresponding C language API function.
