I would like to get my hands on a copy of the ANSI C++ Draft which is in the works. Is this possible? If so, who would one contact? If not, does anyone have a list of the members of the committe (e-mail addresses would be nice)? Thanks. //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Darryl Cornish Schlumberger Laboratory for Computer Science PO Box 200015 Austin, TX, 78720-0015 (512) 331-3787 cornish@slcs.slb.com //---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The X3J16 committee was only formed late last year; there has been only one technical meeting so far. It will be some time before a draft proposed standard for C++ is written. You might be thinking of one of the base documents the committee is going to use - the AT&T C++ Language System Release 2.1 Product Reference Manual. Presumably it can be ordered from AT&T - the select code is 307-159. But it should not be construed that this document represents an early draft of the standard.

That manual, plus some updates and LARGE amounts of commentary, will also soon be available as a book: The Annotated C++ Reference Manual by Margaret Ellis and Bjarne Stroustrup (Addison-Wesley, 1990) Those of you who are going to the Anaheim Usenix conference may get a chance to look through a copy there. -- --Andrew Koenig ark@europa.att.com

I don't think the ANSI committee (X3J16) has an official draft yet, but the closest thing to it is the AT&T C++ Release 2.1 Reference Manual. It is available from AT&T (dial 1-800-828-UNIX) as Select Code 307-159. Alternatively you could get "The Annotated C++ Reference Manual," by M. A. Ellis and B. Stroustrup, published by Addison- Wesley. It contains the entire text of the reference manual (with only slight editorial changes) along with about an equal amount of explanation and commentary. The annotation part is in a special font, so you can tell what's Reference Manual and what isn't. I assume future drafts will be available from X3. When such a draft exists and is available, you'll read about it here! > > Is this possible? If so, who would one contact?

I don't feel free to post a list of the members of the committee (:-)>), but I am AT&T's principal representative and expect to be the editor of the Standard. -- Jonathan Shopiro AT&T Bell Laboratories, Warren, NJ 07060-0908 research!shopiro (201) 580-4229
