What is the status of the TR1 math special functions in regards to standardization, etc.? As I recall, there were problems in the TR1 specification as far as error boundaries go.
Special math have been "standardized" as part of Libary TR1, which is now an official ISO standard - i.e. the work is finished bar processing the defect reports. For C++0x, all of TR1 has been adopted, with the exception of the special math functions. There was a major concern with cost of the feature outside the Library group. And note that cost goes beyond simply implementing the library - at least one vendor mentioned that if they were given an implementation free of charge they still could not afford it, due to increased testing/QA costs. -- AlisdairM
