c++ - Confirmance to standard

CUJ April 2001 carries an artical about confirmance testing of various
compilers against the standard. DM compiler does not figure there. Has there
been any attempt to figure where it stands? (They will be doing the exercise
every year henceforth...)

The issue is more serious. Please read the journal. Its not that we care
about them reviewing or not, it is about inching closer to the set standard.

I have read the whole article online last week and did look into the test-result
zipfiles. IMHO it would be nice to see DMC there mentioned as well.

I read the article - after we ship this version, we'll assess which
direction to take the compiler that is most promising. Regardless, though,
it will move towards the newer standards.

My two penny's worth :>

I would love to see a move towards the ANSI C++ standard.

However I can see that it would be easier to move towards the C99
standard as this would require less work (templates being the
biggest problem).

Both C99 and C++98 are important, since we ship both a C and a C++ compiler.
I happened to have an interest in numerical programming, however, so the
numerics features of C99 were a priority.
