C++0x ?

Hello

I’ve been looking around and was surprised that there will be a new C++ standard and additions dubbed “C++0x”.

According to Bjarne Stroustrup, “the new standard will be almost 100% compatible with the current standard”.

Some of the features I like about this new addition are:
– atomic keyword (for uninterruptible code)
– thread local storage
– asynchronous calls through the “future” keyword
– implicit function calls (as if using properties in other languages)
– parallel execution

The good news for some, probably bad news for eager ones is that the C++ Standards Committee aims to introduce the new standard in 2009.
