Is there any part of the standards process that is geared to the needs of the users of the compiler? Or is it all determined by the compiler writers themselves?

Is there any part of the standards process that is geared to the needs of the users of the compiler? Or is it all determined by the compiler writers themselves? I'm wondering why this kind of push back is necessary.
- hshehehjdjdjd 8y agoThe people on the standards committee, at least for C++, tend to be heavy users of the language.
- Gibbon1 8y agoMy theory is there ware two kinds of programs. Type one: where all the side effects are hidden behind an OS call. Type two: Where side effects are primary and unavoidable. People on the standards committee universally write type one code (compilers and the like). Where the Linux kernel is type two.
