What I think is that it is about time that C++ stop trying to accomodate the C programming language in any respect, and develop itself using C++ idioms and ideas even if it means leaving the C language completely behind. This is what Boost is currently doing and I see attempts to accomodate C as crippling the vitality of C++ and blocking the attempt to create a more dynamic C++ language for the future. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
