------- Comment #10 from starlight at binnacle dot cx 2008-05-11 03:29 ------- Oh, and let's not forget about the millions of lines of C++ code written for the Windows platform that will *never* be ported to Linux. How's that for a domain of large software systems? If that scary old ambiguity monster was really so bad, why doesn't VC<6,7,8,9> enforce the scope rule? If template member names were such a problem, why does VC8 not demand the '->template f<>()' syntax?
You can mumble bad things about Microsoft all day long, but they sell a lot of software and make a *lot* of money supporting a commercial realm that's surely much larger than the *nix world. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36203
