--- Comment #9 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> --- (In reply to Keith Thompson from comment #6) > (I question the policy of implementing DRs that have not been approved > by the committee. As I understand it, the existence of a DR merely means > that *someone* thinks there's a defect in the standard. Many DRs are > eventually rejected.) No, many issues that get submitted are eventually rejected, and are closed as NAD. If it has DR status it means it's been accepted by the committee. (In reply to Keith Thompson from comment #8) > That's a surprising interpretation of the word "amendment". It's the normal Enmglish meaning of the word. > Searching isocpp.org and other sites, I haven't found any official reference > to an "amendment" to the C++ standard. The nearest thing I've found, which > is referenced in the gcc documentation, is the 1995 amendment to the 1990 > ISO C standard, "ANSI/ISO/IEC 9899-1990/AM 1-1995". That's definitely not > a DR. (The C and C++ standard committees use similar procedures.) It's not an official ISO term, it's just English. > Does g++ implement *all* DRs reported against C++11? Reported? No, because not every issue reported is a DR. Ideally we implement all issues with DR status. Some aren't implemented, but that's usually just because it hasn't been done yet.
