@Andrew Gottemoller:

VC++ is a C++ compiler not a C compiler. Why are you expecting C-features again? Why is it so hard for people to accept that VC++ is not a C compiler...

@Benjamin Lindley: How about the Standard? (Or one of the freely available drafts [N3337 and N3376]) You know, the Standard is the ultimate source for anything...

@Benjamin Lindley:

Have a look at http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp! Whilst not official, it's by far the most complete attempt for a online documentation of the library (+language)

So many great news for C++, I love it

Had to work during almost all talks, so I'm looking forward to here all these presentations - saw a bit of the first day live but will enjoy the recordings of all presentations soon . BTW: great selection of speakers: Bjarne, Sutter, Alexandrescu,…

@STL: great to here that range-base-for-loops will be in VC11.. though I'm a std::for_each-guy so that's not that big of a deal for me.

 PS: looking forward to std::thread-support in VC…

@Herb Sutter:The video is on and by the way: nice presentation!

@dot_tom: It's not really Microsoft's task to teach developers what C++ is, is it? Funnily at my work place nobody thinks C++ == COM and we are still heavily developing with C++ - starting with C++11 features already. Funnily I know nobody that thinks that COM was a bad design - taking it's goals into account - it's not like you have much alternative without an official ABI (and we all know that that's a dream that will never come true…)

@Herb: Thanks for this presentation.

This looks extremely like a more modern (Metadata, Generics,…) COM

I'd like to see the complete technical foundation
