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. -- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated. To submit articles, try posting with your ] [ newsreader.
