Diffs between C++98 and C++2003?

Show all headers | View raw

I was, at one time, a fairly active participant in this group, and very
familiar with the C++98 standard. However, my job gave me no
opportunities to use what I knew about C++, so I had very little actual
experience with it. I lost interest in following C++ standardization
issues around the time the 2003 standard was being developed.

I've just been assigned new responsibilities, which include working with
C++; but the version they're using in my new group is C++2003. Is there
somewhere I can find a comprehensive list (not just a summary) of what
was new in C++2003? I've got a fairly recent draft of the the latest
standard, but that includes many new features that my new group won't be
using, and I don't want to be distracted by those features (yet). It
only identifies as changes, those things that were changed from C++2003,
not the things that were changed in C++2003.

I got a summary from a member of my new group, who basically said
"nothing important changed". That doesn't sound reasonable; I remember
that one of the reasons I dropped out of the newsgroup around that time
was that so many new features were being proposed that I had trouble
keeping track of them. I doubt that ALL of the proposals got shot down.
