[C++0x] ISO/IEC approves C++0x standard!

The C++0x standard has been approved by ISO/IEC. The vote was unanimous; all 21 National Bodies voting were in favor. That means the dozen or so Boost libraries that were in TR1 are now part of the standard itself. Good work, Boosters! --Beman

Bravo ! What is the official name of the new C++ standard ? You refer to it as C++0x, which is the name I have been accustomed to hear, but other are now saying C++11.

well I think *now* it's just C++ , "officialy" you may call it ISO/IEC 14882:2011 B.

Yep, ISO/IEC 14882:2011 will be the official name. C++11 seems to be the unofficial name that is gaining traction when folks need to distinguish between versions of the standard. --Beman

I think this depends when it gets published. That's very likely to be this year, in which case C++11. John Bytheway

Shouldn't it be C++0b? <wink/>

it seems B uses more black pixels than b and therefore save energy on a screen !!!! For the same reason, b consumes less ink on a printer. :-D Pffffff my 2 cents.... On Mon, Aug 15, 2011 at 16:15, Richard Hadsell <hadsell@blueskystudios.com>wrote:

Maybe it should be C++7db if we're going that route?

That would be the unofficial name. Bronek had the correct official designation. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

I was really asking what informal nomenclature will most likely be used to refer to the new C++ standard. It seems C++11 will probably be the way it will informally be called, and not C++0x as many have gotten used to referring to it while it was still in the process of standardization.

I think the most important consideration for this is what the gcc argument to the -std option is that deprecates c++0x. AFAICS, they haven't chosen that yet. John
