... or just buy Dinkumware's implementation of TR2 . TR2 *is* a standard, although spearate one from ISO 14882.
Nah, TR2 hasn't been written yet :-) TR1 has been written and published: incidently ISO requires that all applicable patents are declared before a standard is ratified. Should someone submit something to an ISO std and then release their patent on the world after the effect (so called "submarine" patents), their patent gets declared invalid. Of course that doesn't stop some third party declaring that something was included in a std without their knowledge. John.
