HP C/aC++ for PA-RISC Software manual International Standard defines only synchronous exceptions

E
exception	An exception is a runtime error condition. Exception handling is a C++ mechanism that allows
	the error detector to pass the error condition to the exception handler. An exception is raised by
	a throw statement within a try block and handled by a catch clause. The ANSI/ISO C++
	International Standard defines only synchronous exceptions.
explicit	A method of instantiation that instantiates a template at the point of its use. You can code an
instantiation	explicit template instantiation, as defined in the Final Draft International Standard, in your source
	file.
external symbol	A name of a function or data item in an object file that you can link with other object files.
F
friend	A class or a function that has access to data of a class and member functions. Friend has access
	to the public, protected, and private members of a class.
function template	A template that defines an unbounded set of related functions.
H
header file	A C++ source file typically containing class or function declarations. It is referenced by other
	C++ source files using the #include preprocessor directive.
HP aC++	The latest C++ compiler from HP. It closely complies with most features of the ANSI/ISO C++
	International Standard.
HP C++	An initial, pre-C++ draft proposed international standard C++ compiler from HP. It is based on
	the cfront compiler and provides functionality for templates and exception handling.
I
include guards	Preprocessor commands, such as, #ifndef, #define, and #endif, used in a header file to
	prevent compiling that file more than once.
inline function	A function whose code is copied in place of each function call.
instantiate	To form an instantiation by binding a template to particular argument types.
instantiated class	A class generated from a class template by instantiation.
instantiated	A function generated from a function template by instantiation.
function
instantiation	A generated class or function (a definition) that is the result of binding a template to particular
	argument types. Also known as a generation.
L
lex	A program generator for lexical analysis of text.
link unit	A single entity submitted to the linker. A link unit can be an object file (.o file, the output of a
	translation unit), an archive library (.a file), or a shared library (.so file).
load compile	Invoking the compiler using the +hdr_use option, and a manual precompiled header file.
M
member data	Any data element declared to be part of a class.
member function	Any function declared to be part of a class.
multiple	The ability of a class to inherit from more than one base class. The derived class inherits all public
inheritance	and protected members from all of its base classes. Also see single inheritence.
N
name demangling	The process of changing the internal representation of identifiers back to their original C++ source
	names. Also see name mangling.
