A few years ago a study : within IBM showed that the defect-insertion rate for C was more than four times : that experienced with Modula-2. I'd expect a similar experiment with Modula-3 and : C++ to show a similar ratio. Could you give a concrete reference to this IBM study??? Where was it conducted, by whom, and what are the report numbers resp. open literature quotations? -- Prof. Karl Kleine vkk@rz.uni-jena.de Fachhochschule Jena kleine@fzi.de Postfach 100314, D-07703 Jena, Germany +49-3641-64-3451/-3453 fax -3449
