Two weeks ago, Google hosted a two-day informal meeting to discuss Concepts, a major new language feature for the next version of C++. Concepts are the foundation of generic programming, but until now they haven't been part of the actual C++ language. Last week's meeting was part of a multi-year effort to improve C++ by adding explicit support for Concepts. Papers have already been given at the Principles for Programming Language Symposium (pdf) and the Object Oriented Programming, Systems, Languages & Applications Conference (pdf).
Attendees at last week's meeting made significant progress: the group finalized many details of Concepts and resolved concerns about implementation issues. Keep an eye on the C++ Standards Committee Website, as the final version of the concepts proposal will be available in just a few weeks.

Hi..I am B-Tech student in Kochi,India.
ReplyDeleteI am currently doing project related to automation of Telescope for which I need to develop a software and merge it with IPC so that I can remotely operate the telescope.
It will also contain a server so that I can send my information from my place of work to remote area.
Can somebody help me in this project ?

Hi This is Yasir from Islamabad Pakistan
ReplyDeleteThis is very good approch, c++ must be further standerized instead of stealing concept of c++ and developing new languages.
It is the mother language and we all should try to improve it.
