It's now official: the GCC compiler is moving to a C++ implementation.
"I am pleased to report that the GCC Steering Committee and the FSF
have approved the use of C++ in GCC itself. Of course, there's no reason
for us to use C++ features just because we can. The goal is a better
compiler for users, not a C++ code base for its own sake.
" The next
step is the bashing out of a set of C++ coding standards limiting the set
of C++ language features which can be used.
