Please settle a bet for me.

Person A claims that ^ in standard C++ is used to indicate a handle.
Person B claims that standard C++ does not have handles, and that ^ is
only bitwise XOR.

Who is correct?

Thanks.

Person A claims that ^ in standard C++ is used to indicate a handle.

It's a handle (a masked pointer) in ISO C++/CLI
(see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C++/CLI )

Person B claims that standard C++ does not have handles, and that ^ is
only bitwise XOR.

It's a bitwise XOR in all C-like languages (afaik).
Handles^ aren't available in Standard C++.

B, the bitwise XOR is correct. Person A mixes up C++ with Pascal,
where ^ is used for pointers.

No, A is talking about that C++/CLI thing that MS dreamed up.
