Re: Spec costs was RE: [GD-General] The joy of type aliasing and C

[Colin F. <cp...@ea...>]

The fact that the C99 spec is $18, and the C++03 spec is $273,
has "conspiracy" written all over it!

Nobody buys the *latest* (Mwoohahahaaaa!) C++ specifications,
and, WHAM!, [insert greatest horror here] falls upon the Earth!!

(Screaming in terror)  "C++ is made of people!!!"



P.S.: My "Faster Than Light" technology relies on type aliasing,
      so naturally I had an interest in seeing that the space
      aliens didn't infiltrate ANSI and change the C++ specification.
      But my robots tell me that if I would just up my meds
      that things would have a way of working themselves out for
      the best.  I think they can't handle the truth, which is
      "out there", maybe in the C++03 specification.
