Xbase++ was designed to fully support Clipper features like preprocessor, code blocks, macro-evaluation, functions and commands, and to transform them to the world of 32-bit computing. Xbase++ provides a unique three-tier architecture in language for swift and effective application development. Whether you use commands or functions, the compiler transforms your code into the objects you need. And naturally the whole process remains ”hidden” from view.

This has the great advantage that all features of the Xbase++ runtime library are realized using platform independent objects. The Xbase++ compiler identifies a bunch of more errors than Clipper and increases this way productivity and quality of your projects. It also generates fast 32-bit native code, which allows the creation of standalone executables (EXE) and dynamic-link-libraries (DLL). Because of its true 32-bit architecture, Xbase++ applications can easily be deployed as CGI programs supporting a wide range of Web-Servers.
