That's part of why I do code review, because sometimes I can answer questions for other people. :) Forcing 98 on these tests is fine. > I really think Apple would need to step up here if the default Objective-C++ > dialect is going to change. I don't mind stepping up and doing this work. I just thought you'd already done it. This patch updates some tests; is that enough, or are there further changes required in order to change the default ObjC++ dialect?
