Stroustrup Says New C++ Standard Delayed Until 2010 Or Later

Posted by timothy on from the esperanto-wasn't-built-in-a-day dept.

wandazulu writes "At the end of an article written by the creator of C++, where he talks about removing a feature from the new C++ standard, he drops a bombshell: The new C++ standard (typically referred to as C++0x) has been delayed until 2010 or later. What does this mean? No new C++ features like threads, proper enum classes, or hash tables. C++0x is dead, long live C++1x!"

    I love trolls :)

    typesafe ? Is not C++ type safe ? Where did you read about C++, while listening to some podcast ? Get real man. Read the specs, use it.

    Memory safe ? What is exactly this concept of "memory safe" ? Having a GC that does not have a clue of what the programmer wants to do ? To have a such dumb programmer that expects that memory allocations can be entirely managed by other layers ?

    Get real. You ain't getting anything better than C++ for the time being.

    Oh, sorry. I guess I can run VBscript and Java on this 16kb ROM/2kb RAM controller I have here... or then not.
