[comp.lang.c++] present state of c++

mgardi@watdcsu.waterloo.edu (M.Gardi - ICR) (04/05/89)

I am a little curious as to the present state of c++, and particularly on
PC implementations.

Could someone provide me with the status of the following c++ features, and
comments on their availability for both PC and mainframe environments.

a) What is the current 'official' release of c++
b)  Protected members
c)  multiple inheritance
d)  Parameterized types
e)  incremental compilation
In particular, does anyone know when/if each feature will become available?
Thanks

Also, when will we have a compiler that no longer apologizes?

The day the marketeers decide that honesty is a luxury we can no
afford afford.
