culliton@cdss.UUCP (Tom Culliton x2278) (07/26/90)
Well there I was reading my copy of the ARM (or E&S if you prefer) at
the request of a collegue who was strugling with a list iterator. When
I saw that there was finally a way to distinguish pre and post increment
operators defined for a class. (See the ARM section 13.4.7 pp 338-339)
As this was exactly what my collegue wanted to do, we gave it a shot.
You can probably guess the rest...
The question is what version of cfront actually added this? When will
HCR's C++ compiler catch up? The HCR manual (labelled version 2.1) does
say the compiler (it says version 2.0a) will do exactly what it did (the
old style, no distinction) so theres no complaint there. This is more
of a "when can I expect this" question.
