INCITS/ISO/IEC 14882:2003 vs INCITS/ISO/IEC 14882:1998

[Alexei Polkhanov]

Hello everybody!
I was looking for PDf version of ISO C++ standard on several websites and I found
few documents. one here: http://www.techstreet.com/cgi-bin/de...oduct_id=49964
and it is named "INCITS-Adopted ISO/IEC Standard" and it tells me that this
version of standard was replaced by another review from year 2003.

I have my copy I purchased from same website many years ago and it says
ISO/IEC 14882-1998(E). Version from 2003 is different, in fact it is
786 pages instead of 732 pages for 1998 year version.

Does anyone now what is new in ISO C++ since 1998 ? Just curios if it is worth
to bye yr 2003 version to find out what new in those 54 pages ?

Just wondering if hash_map<> finally made it to standard ?

Cheers,

Just download it from somewhere else, I did. Paying for the C++
Standard is like paying to go for a walk. If I _did_ have the money, then I'd make a _voluntary_ contribution, but charging for the C++
Standard is extortion.

Do you steal other things you can't afford, too?

Yes.
Why? Are _you_ too proud to? I've had numerous versions of Visual
Studio, none of them paid for.

And with this, you join the killfile. Some people believe in reforming thieves;
I believe in ostracizing them.

In Irish, we have a saying:
Bó le Bata, Capall le Ceansacht
A cow with a stick, a horse with kindness
If you want a cow to do something for you, then use a stick. If you want a
horse to do something for you, then use kindness. Switch them around - now
the cow ignores you, meanwhile the horse has a "fight or flight" response,
which 99 times out of 100 will result in you getting an almighty kick.

Moral of the story: Think twice before you adopt the attitude of treating
others how you would like to be treated, it may differ from how _they_ would
like to be treated.

Long story short: if I can't afford food, I will not hesitate to rob it. Or
should I just take it like a man and starve with dignity?

The ridiculous prices of education, and even software development packages,
just adds to the poverty trap. If you're born into poverty and you want out,
maybe education will work for you. But what if you can't afford it?
The C++ Standard is not a luxury, it is a basic supplement. I will not pay
for it.
