You can assume that every feature of the C++ language is planned for a
future release.  So the answer to your question is trivially yes.

Your next question is, when will it be done, we have no answer to any
of those types of questions.  When you write the code and donate it
(or pay someone else to do the work for you) is about the best answer
I know of.

I suspect that the real question being asked is "is someone currently
working or planning to work on it?".  For some missing features, the
answer is that someone is working on it (e.g. many of the missing standard
C++ classes).  For others, the answer is that no one is working on it.

This is the traditional way that we blow people off, and it does have
a certain amount of validity, but it would probably serve us better
to be more public about who is working on what, so we don't wind up
with two versions of feature X and no version of feature Y.

It's actually started :-)  So you can send diffs to it just like you would
any other file :-)

egcs/gcc/PROJECTS

One could certainly argue that it should move up a level in the directory
structure.

I agree.  Jeff or Jason, would it be possible to have a PROJECTS file
in egcs that indicated who is working on what?  Then, we could send
you patches to the PROJECTS file just like any other patch.

You will find that the development sources include the remaining variants.

The third edition of Stroustup's book lists (p. 576, Sec 19.4.5) six
variants of new and delete. However, in the header file <new> of
egcs-1.0.1 I find 6 variants of new but only these two variants
of delete:

void operator delete (void *) throw();
void operator delete[] (void *) throw();

Are the remaining variants planned for a future release ?

In case it matters, my system is a SunOS 4.1.2 Sparc 2 box and the
header file <new> is for some reason located in:
    prefix/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-sunos4.1.2/egcs-2.90.23/include
rather than:
    prefix/include/g++
even though it appears in its entirety to be a GNU file and _not_
derived by running fixincludes on any Sun include file.
