ISO updates C standard
- _delirium 15y agoIs there any indication from major C-using projects what their opinions on the standard are? For example, will anyone be moving from pthreads to C1X threads for multithreading? I don't have a good read on how anticipated these features are and what the uptake is likely to be.

- hornd 15y agoThe committee seems to be taking one step backwards and one step forwards with this publication. On the one hand, I'm glad they're adding support for features such as static assertions that previously required ugly workarounds. On the other, I think their idea of a threading library is somewhat laughable. Also, I'm not fully sold on the idea of having 10 or so optional implementation requirements. The most important question, to me, is how many implementations will support the full standard? Are we going to have another C99 wherein most vendors maintain partial support?
- haberman 15y agoIf only they had waited another few weeks it could have been C12. I hope people don't confuse C11 with C++11 or think that they are related in any way.
