There's a really good article up on kuro5hin today about this exact issue. The direct link is http://www.kuro5hin.org/?op=displaystory;sid=2001/4/25/22959/3540 Since its dated last week, I doubt anyone is going to seriously try to claim that *this* is out of date. :-) My favorite part is: --- One begins to wonder if it's been almost four years since the draft discussions and yet no single compiler implements the entire standard, then when will the additions currently being proposed finally make it into the standard and then into the real world in a way that is compatible across platforms and compilers? Two years? Four? Six maybe? --- --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html home email - mailto:dennison@telepath.com
