Description
A draft for a revised ISO C++ standard, C++0x, has been produced. The speaker will present the background of C++, its aims, the standards process (with opinions), some of the guiding design principles (with tiny code examples), and two case studies. The case studies are initialization (a general and uniform syntax and semantics for initializers in all contexts) and concurrent support facilities (memory model, threads, locks, futures).
