No, that's still the same standard, but with corrections where things were a bit too fuzzy. AFAIK, none of the changes are big enough to justify the behavior at hand. Next C++ will be something like C++07 or C++08, but currently that's still C++98. > If you code to the intersection of C++98 and C++03 I guess you have a > stronger argument (though C++98 is only seven years old, not ten....).
