I don't think things have changed that much. My personal view is that any such subset, if it did exist, would be so restrictive and unnatural to typical C++ users that they would find it unacceptable. Persuading a potential Ada user of the merits of SPARK is a much easier proposition because they have already taken several steps down the early error detection route. Peter
