Could someone involved in the C++ standardisation effort give an indication of when the C++ Standard is likely to be ratified ? Are we talking 6 months, 1 year, 2- 3 years, longer? Also, once a standard is in place, will compilers be subjected to compliance testing and certification in a similar way to Ada compilers. Thanks in advance, Bryan. -- Bryan Drew, Email: bdrew@hi-q.demon.co.uk Hi-Q Systems Limited, Tel : +44 (0)1252-815035 Hi-Q House, Ancells Court, Fax : +44 (0)1252-815022 Fleet, Hants GU13 8UZ UK

I think the current proposed schedule looks something like this: 3/96 Complete CD ballot resolution 5/96 Begin second CD ballot 11/96 or 3/97 Complete second CD ballot resolution 1/97 (or 5/97) Begin DIS ballot 8/97 (or 12/97) Complete editorial corrections arising from DIS ballot resolution. Send IS to ITTF (with final report). So about 2-3 years. >Also, once a standard is in place, will compilers be subjected to >compliance testing and certification in a similar way to Ada >compilers. No, I don't think there are any plans to standardize that sort of thing. -- Fergus Henderson | Designing grand concepts is fun; fjh@cs.mu.oz.au | finding nitty little bugs is just work. http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/~fjh | -- Brooks, in "The Mythical Man-Month".

Once the draft is submitted as a DIS (Draft International Standard) no changes are permitted except for correcting typographical errors like misspellings. -- Steve Clamage, stephen.clamage@eng.sun.com --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated.
