Apache stdcxx upstream activity has largely ceased after 2008 so it is probably not a good idea to commit to a sinking ship. GCC libstdc++ and Clang libc++ are actively working on C++'0x support so it's only a matter of time until some OSS projects start taking advantage of that. -- Guido Berhoerster _______________________________________________ oi-dev mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
