I thought that it would be usefull if the Fortran community were aware of significant events for the C/C++ standardization efforts. About a month ago the C++ standardization effort reached an important milestore, the current draft has been submitted to the ISO for its international ballot. The C9x standardization effort is almost ready to submit a committee draft for ANSI review. In anticipation a working draft, i.e., not the draft that will be officially submitted for the review, has been made publicly available at http://www.dkuug.dk/JTC1/SC22/WG14/www/docs/n794.htm Note the above html version loses some information available in PDF and postscript versions. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
