C++0x == C++2011

This means that the FDIS will pretty much be the version of the C++ standard that the international representatives will vote upon for ratification in the upcoming votes happening in August this year.

So by August, we may well have an official std::thread to play with. Anyone else excited?

As long as its not like rocket science, I'm in!

but thats a relative viewpoint

to most of the population of the world what we do is rocket science already

i would willingly inegrate, or at least branch out a MT version of my small proejects. after all im pretty sure massive parralel multicore is the future

I have only tried multi-threading with boost and it was pretty easy, tough I didn't do anything advanced. If I did, I would probably had gotten into many troubles. But thats just because lack of knowledge and experience

yay, that means in half a year I get recode everything xD. I have been using boost threads as well and many of the std lib changes are what boost already does so changing over should not be hard at all. In the past I did native windows and unix threads and windows was terribly confusing (as it normally is) and unix threads were about as simple as boost's.

Does anyone know if there is/will be a standard network socket?

Afraid not, since i've been converted to D ;]

What benefits does D have over C++? Wasn't it supposed to be sort of a rewrite of C++ or something?

I don't know about it's origin, but i think you may be right in that. Regarding benefits.. One could write quite a bit about the differences, but in the end what makes one language better than another usually boils down to a matter of taste. But for me, D simply feels like it is what C++ intended to be, or wants to become, but without all the nasty wierdness.

A clear benefit is compile time. Although only about 2.4 megs of irrlicht source has been ported so far, it takes about 8 seconds for me to compile. Compared with ~9 megs of irrlicht c++-code which for me takes ~75 seconds to (re)build(With 2 threads). It's probably not a good idea to compare build times for projects with that big of a size difference, but still, it feels like it compiles instantly.

A clear disadvantage for D is the sometimes lacking documentation.

I'll refrain from tainting your impression of D any more. Experiencing/learning it firsthand is probably best. =)

Sorry for thread hijacking.

Anyone else excited?

Not yet. Switched to C#
But since I'll need C++ for university at the end of the year I guess I have to relearn some aspects of C++ and hopefully I'll come across some of C++0x' new features

Anyone else excited?

I am already using boost::thread for some of my projects. For me, all that changes is the namespace. So nothing to be excited about.

On the other hand, because i am a nitpicker, i am sure i will enjoy using the nullptr literal.

That's cool. I've been playing around with Boost threads a little bit recently, but having standard C++ threads would be highly welcome to me.

how this will come into our life? it's just a matter of download and re-install the IDE (like code blocks)?

It's just a standard. Like the web; GCC will kind of implement them, Clang with implement them fully but no one will use it, and MSVC will ruin them by implementing them wrong.

So we can continue happily using boost

I'm already using "auto" all over the place in my current project. Saves so much typing when working with STL :-)
