Re: Question about compiler bug: Value-initialization in new-expression
What's VC++'s uptake on new revisions of the standard? Is (near) C++03
compliance for Orcas or future versions of VC++ to be expected? And are
new developments in the C++ standard (e.g., concepts, variadic template
arguments, rvalue references, etc) looked into by the VC++ team? (Of
course, I know it's too soon to speak of any implementation as the new C++
revision won't come any earlier than 2009, but I'm interested to know
whether the new features are kept in mind during the development of new
VC++ revisions)
Orcas aims for standards C++ compliance, but C++0X is not even ratified at
this point, so there is no way Orcas will be C++0X compliant, even if C++0X
should be ratified beforeOrcas release.
I do know (or at least I think I remember) that dinkumware has a complete
implementation of all C++0X libraries, so if push comes to shove, I suspect
they will license them from dinkumware like they did for other STL versions.
C99 compliance: I have the impression that that is more driven by consumer
feedback than by aiming for 100% standards compliance.
I think this is simply a matter of scheduling limited resources (developers)
for a large number of tasks.
Btw, apart from the first paragraph, this is pure speculation on my part.
