Of course. I mentioned that. I'm more familiar with the POSIX/UNIX standardization than the C/C++ standardization. Perhaps they have very different rules, but what I've seen with the one group is that the committee strongly prefers that there be an existing implementation. If they wait for existing implementations, and you wait for them, then no progress can be made. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29245
