I should say, I
am very much looking forward to the new standard becoming official,
and, of course, to more complete compiler support for it, as well.
While not exactly official, the C++ committee voted out an FDIS (Final
Draft International Standard) 3 days ago (March 25, 2011) in Madrid.
That means technical work is done and we expect the bureaucratic work
for the official stamp to be done (hopefully) within a handful of
months. We're talking C++11. The final draft should appear in
the post-Madrid mailing within a couple of weeks (after intense and
much appreciated work done by the project editor Pete Becker to
incorporate the changes from Madrid, and a small review committee).
