Standards Committee News ISO C++
Standards Committee (JTC1 SC22/WG21) The
ISO/IEC C++ Standards Committee met in Frankfurt Germany, Jun 13 - 18,
2009. The bulk of the meeting was
spent on Ballot Resolution for the first Committee Draft (CD) of the revision
of the C++ Standard, aka C++0X. In a
major decision, the Committee removed Concepts from the CD. Concepts was to
be a significant addition to the Standard, as a major step in making
templates more usable by greatly
simplifying the error messages generated. There have been a number of
opinions expressed on this issue, but perhaps the most comprehensive is
Bjarne Stroustrup's write-up in Dr Dobb's: http://www.ddj.com/cpp/218600111. As
a result of the decision to remove Concepts, the Project Editor is going
through the process of decoupling Concepts from the CD in preparation for the
upcoming meeting in Santa Cruz, Oct 19-24, 2009. The Committee will need decide in Santa
Cruz when to release a second CD for ballot. |
