R.I.P C++ – The evolution Of C++0x

Since the publishing of C++ standards in 1988, it remains as one of the dominant object oriented languages that prevails in the market. The first C++ standard, ISO/IEC 14882 is going to be replaced by a new updated set of rules and standards. Those new standards are unofficially named as C++0x. It covers all the needs of the programmer. The developers of this new programming standard were in a probation period for a long time. They keep updating themselves with the hurdles that the programmer’s face. They have introduced many new features in terms of functionality, usability and time performance. They totally changed the old standards form the previous language to the brand new functions in the C++0x. They improved lot in core language usability and addressed the run time performance issues. They had planned to introduce features such as Concepts, Garbage collection, Reflection and Macro Scopes. But they finally decided to postpone the above said features for the next product release. The new standards are due to be released in the end of 2009. Hope, it works efficiently and attracts everyone. The great legend, Douglas Gregor from Open System Laboratory which resides in Indiana had been doing research for the upcoming dazzling release of C++0x.
