Simply put: no! I thinking of all our internal projects, plus all of our clients (which represent a fair corss section of the UK Defence, and the European Railway industry) for the 5 years that I've been with PxCS. I can't think of a single example of a fielded life-critical system in C++. The relevant standards (Def Stan 00-55 for UK defence, and CENELEC 50128 for the rail industry) offer clear advice on this topic. - Rod Chapman Praxis Critical Systems Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/
