Bjarne Stroustrup Previews C++0x

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the tired-of-the-word-committee dept.

Szplug writes "Bjarne Stroustrup has a sneak peek at the additions to C++ that he expects will be completed (hopefully) by 2009. Included are language-defined threads, optional garbage collection, some automatic type deduction, and template concepts. From the article: 'The list of current proposals is still quite modest and not anywhere as ambitious as I'd like. However, more proposals are being considered and more libraries will appear either as part of the C++0x standard itself or as further committee technical reports.'"

  1. I'd just like to point out - we own it by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 4, Funny

    "And C++ programming languages, we own those, have licensed them out multiple times, obviously. We have a lot of royalties coming to us from C++."

    You know where to send your royalty checks.

    By the time he's finished with C++0x\n==%d, I bet the specification will look suspiciously similar to that of Common Lisp!

    You thought that was a weird name, yet you didn't blink at Bjarne Stroustrup?

    "C++ is one of the properties that SCO owns today and we frequently are approached by customers who wish to license C++ from us and we do charge for that. Those arrangements are done on a case-by-case basis with each customer and are not disclosed publicly. C++ licensing is currently part of SCO's SCOsource licensing program."
