Question

I’m trying to keep my C++ project cross-platform as much as possible.
Albeit I do have dependencies on the following MFC\ATL classes: CString, CTime, CTimeSpan.

Is there an open implementation somewhere of MFC\ATL classes?
How common are these packages and should I use the open source libraries to start with, or should I wait until the need arises?

Answer 1

Instead of CString use std::string

Instead of CTime use boost::ptime

Instead of CTimeSpan use boost::time_duration
