I am just curious - is anyone out there trying to add the template and
exception handling features (described as "experimental" in the Annotated
C++ Reference Manual) to g++? I believe the ANSI committee is trying to
standardize these features, but I don't know how much they have changed
since the base document was published.

I will be doing some work to implement function and class templates in
g++ over the next couple of months. This may include some extensions
beyond the description in the ARM.tiemann@arkesden.eng.sun.com (Michael Tiemann) (11/15/90)

Cygnus Support is doing both.

They just did.

Not regards g++, but rather regards the standardization effort: templates are now considered to be "in", exceptions are expected to be in, but there are people arguing the merits of resumable exceptions vs Bjarne's original proposal, so we don't know exactly what those exceptions are going to look like yet.

Ah, don't you just love language design by committee? Especially when the committee throws out the "prior art" rule? X3J11 showed commendable restraint in what they did to C, but there are storm warnings out for C++... -- "I don't *want* to be normal!" | Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology "Not to worry." | henry@zoo.toronto.edu utzoo!henry
