You can check the whole formal grammar of C++ processing on page 307 of the standard. The "language proper" is a term I could not find in that document. Can you give me the page of that document that describes this "language proper"? A source file in C++ has according to the definition in the standard no preprocessor run on it. They are then converted to "translation units" through a number of steps which also includes preprocessing. This preprocessing is completely and formally defined in the language > Yes, Haskell has a import and module system which is more > sophisticated than C/C++ include and namespace. Here's what Simon Peyton Jones, John Hughes, Phillip Wadler and Paul Hudak have to say about the Haskell Module Sytem: "The module system is a namespace control mechanism, nothing more and nothing less" "The result is a module system distinguished by its modesty. It does about as little as is possible for a language to do and still call itself a practical programming tool" I think your time is better spent explaining to them what a sophisticated tool they have created. > I recommend the Usenet newsgroups comp.std.* for C and > C++, and the Haskell-Cafe mailing lists. Yes, I obviously need all the help I can get.
