The proponents need to persuade > us that it is worth those costs. This is exactly the kind of response I hoped for. Here are the steps I intend to follow now: - Modify GCC 3.2 to support my proposal. This will provide an idea of the cost for vendors. - Modify the C++ standard text. This will provide an estimate of the cost for the WG21 and other involved in standardization. - Gather the costs and benefits for users. I will keep all relevant information from this thread. I expect all this to take me a while, but if anyone has specific costs or benefits that should be included, please reply to this post. --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated.
