In this interview http://www.devx.com/SpecialReports/Article/38813/0/page/1Bjarne Stroustrup talks about an upcoming C++ ISO standard, C++0x (the same nomenclature as "C89", "0x" means the specific year is undecided, it doesn't mean hex :-).
He categorizes the additions in three ways, Concurrency, Language, and Libraries; the concurrency part is about multicore support. He writes, 'Basically, the "concurrency" features will standardize the basic layers needed to do systems programming in a multi-core world. Obviously, facilities for doing that already exist in C++ implementations, but they are not standardized. I'd have liked to see library support for some high-level concurrency models, but the committee didn't have the time or consensus for that.' Peter
