C++ on Pocket PC?

hoibbes asks: "I was wondering if anyone knew of a C++ program for my Pocket PC. Now, I know that I will probably get quite a few replies saying Embedded Visual C++, and while they would be right, that is not what I am looking for. I am looking for a program that will let me write C++ code on my Pocket PC. So that while I am away on a trip I can still work on my code. I have been searching for a while now and have come up with nothing. I come to ask the help of Slashdot in a final attempt to find what I need."

Do you want a compiler or an editor?

I'm not sure what you mean by "program."

However, you may wish to go PocketPC's Open Source Portal. There you can get gcc (which includes g++ I suspect) or vim.

Poor Arcadum got b!tchslapped a little too quick, methinks. Actually given that the writer is going to be doing coding that he expects to compile and run on a PocketPC - odds that it will easily run on laptop hardware that is three or four generations old.

Heck I have a Dell Latitude CPiA with a PII/366 CPU, 256M of RAM, 20G of drive space, 802.11b, a PCMCIA 10BaseT NIC and Modem, a 13" active matrix screen, and the whole thing weighs like 6lbs (3kg). Maybe with power adapter and nylon case it is 10lbs total, and cheap. Maybe $400 on the high end, cheaper than a nice new PocketPC. Running Windows 2000 Professional and Visual Studio 6.0 with all the other advantages of a desktop (nice full size keyboard, full size 1024x768 display, use a nice external mouse, run the code, compile at a reasonable speed, run Linux if that is your thing ...

If the original guy is going to be travelling by bicycle then it may not fit his travel plans, but if he is travelling by car or commercial travel (plane, train, etc...) then an older laptop wouldn't be that much bigger or more expensive than a Handheld, and would offer a LOT more functionality.
