[comp.lang.c++] C++ vs ANSI C

tdowney@ccp.bbn.com (Thomas Downey) (12/11/87)

I am interested in finding out how the normal C part of C++ differs from ANSI
C. Are there any articles or other info on this, or could someone summarize
what areas to look at?

Also, has C++ changed since the original Stroustrup book? I am looking into
using C++ for a project and want to find out where the language is today and
where it is going.

I am interested in what differences exist between the CFRONT
2.0 spec and the ANSI C spec that would prevent a CFRONT 2.0
compatible C++ compiler from compiling an ANSI C program. I
know that there was a difference in name space handling between
1.0 and ANSI C, but I've also heard that this has been removed
in 2.0.

If anyone has any help on this subject please reply directly
to me.

Thanks
