[comp.lang.c++] Multiple inheritance c++...looking for rumors

bsmith@lands.ced.berkeley.edu (Brian Smith) (01/13/88)

Does anyone know if a multiple inheritance version of c++ is in the
works? I heard a rumor some time ago that AT&T had an in-house version
running. Any release date on the system or the language specification?

Multiple inheritance has been available at a few sites inside
AT&T for some time now.  You can read all about it in the
proceedings of the USENIX C++ workshop, about to be published.

Of course I won't discuss release dates.

At the C++ workshop I believe this had the status of "official"
rumor, expected release early 1988.  There are
write-ups floating around explaining how this all is going to 
work. Hopefully your request will provoke a definitive response.

I know I'M sure waiting around with baited breath !!!

P.S.

Get a copy of the workshop proceedings.  I think you will
find it will contain a fair amount of material as to where
C++ is going.
