I've been pointing this out. Perhaps the compiler team wishes to argue that a unified C process model need not imply a unified C++ process model (I strongly suspect that that's just not really workable, but the compiler team should know better). My comment above was about the undesirability of having two process models for C++ even if that could be made to work with the unified C process model. Nico --
