Stan Lippman On Version 2 Of Managed C++

Posted by timothy on from the onward-and-upward dept.

Lansdowne writes "Stan Lippman, one of the founding fathers of C++ and currently a language architect at Microsoft, has prepared an exhaustive translation guide, comparing old Managed C++ to the revised CLI/.NET version of C++. According to Lippman, "There are a number of significant weaknesses in the original language design (Version 1), which we feel are corrected in the revised language design (Version 2).""

    Unfortunately the C++ standards commitee has always been a corrupt bunch of language lawyers. You just have to look at all the money that Plum Hall make selling updates to their test suite and then trace back who on the commitee actually proposed and championed the changes to the standard in the first place to see that.
