Is the SAME standard to be ratified by ANSI (or is this even needed?) I ask because of a few curious comments made at a recent meeting where some programmers at a customers site believed that a 'final' (for the next few years anyway) standard although agreed by one organisation hadn't been agreed by 'others' and that further changes might be likely. They valued stability of the standard as paramount, and were trying to use this against C++. Personally I'm happy with an ISO standard but didn't feel I could refute their claims without some more specific knowledge. I'm somewhat confused and wish to know simply whether the new ISO standard *IS* the current world-wide standard that (hopefully) compilers will strive for, or are the posts going to be moved in the next year or so with a slightly modified ANSI standard?
