Work is proceeding to match the final draft. No one is working to match the obsolete Dec. 1996 draft, though in most places they are not that different. Martin von Loewis is working on the namespace implementation. Mark Mitchell and Kriang Lerdsuwanakij have contributed major missing pieces of template functionality. Ulrich Drepper is working on updating the standard C++ library, though he hasn't made that work available yet (I occasionally bug him about the cathedral he's working on). > Does anyone know of any compiler that is 100% compatible? None exist, partly because the committee changed things right up until just before the final (Nov 1997) draft, and implementers take time. Compilers based on the EDG front end are pretty close for the compiler proper (modulo the usual bugs and language lawyer nitpicking), but class libraries are another matter.
