- pjmlp 4y agoYes and no, while IBM owns Red-Hat, it doesn't dictate how Red-Hat does their own business decisions. Not in what concerns ISO C++ support, and if it was up to IBM, trigraphs would still be supported. See what ISO version their xl compilers support, across all mainframe, Aix and Linux deployments. https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support

Even that's true, it's now IBM's money that gets invested. > Not in what concerns ISO C++ support, and if it was up to IBM, trigraphs would still be supported. I know about the trigraphs. That they were fighting for that shows imho exactly that IBM is heavily invested in C++. They have a shitload of old but hightly important code that can't be migrated realistically. So IBM will keep throwing money on C++ to extend its live infinitely, I guess.
