Rumors of VC++ 7.0
-
While I was at the ISO C++ Meeting (see message below), I was able to corner Jon Caves of Microsoft, and asked from what's happening with VC7: Lot's of .NET support (naturally) Lot's of code generation enhancements (handles P3 and 3D instruction sets). covariant return types (finally!) correct for() scoping (finally!) Lot's a small fixes to templates, but still no partial specialization (that would require changing thier name mangling scheme, which would prevent the Systems folks from recompiling win2000. Jon says that should be worked out in some 7.x release
