I don't think denial is the best way to cope with the news.
Last time I checked C++11 has been an ISO standard since last August, with MS and Clang ramping up their support for it.
- jmillikin 14y agoBut neither fully supports it yet, just as GCC doesn't. Even when they claim to support every feature in the standard, that's just the beginning -- next comes fixing all the bugs and corner cases that naturally arise from a spec as complex as C++11.
- jlarocco 14y agoAnd? Essentially the same thing happened with C++98, and in the long run it didn't hurt adoption too much. To me, it seems like the compiler are doing a better job this time around.
- jmillikin 14y agoThe point is that it's silly to criticize GCC for having incomplete C++11 support one year after the standard has finalized, and even sillier to point to other compilers' less-complete support as evidence that GCC is falling behind.
- jey 14y agoAs far as I know, GCC and Clang have the most complete C++11 implementations, and I use many C++11 features daily in GCC 4.7.2. (Planning to give Clang another whirl, but haven't gotten around to it yet.)
