[Bug c++/43549] TR1 type_traits are much worse than C++0x type_traits
--- Comment #2 from pogonyshev at gmx dot net 2010-03-27 14:36 --- I'm sorry, but why? Isn't the compiler the same? What is the point of not providing good type traits if you can? -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43549

--- Comment #3 from paolo dot carlini at oracle dot com 2010-03-27 19:27 --- Because maintaining more code is a burden, and TR1, now that C++1x is around the corner is just history, from now on will be only *minimally* maintained. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43549

--- Comment #4 from pogonyshev at gmx dot net 2010-03-27 19:33 --- From info: ...some of which have been implemented in an experimental C++0x mode in GCC. Instead of maintaining a separate piece of code you could have one just include another so that they are the same and be done with it. With current situation _default_ mode is worse than it could be. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43549

--- Comment #5 from paolo dot carlini at oracle dot com 2010-03-27 20:00 --- Evidently, you never studied the actual specs: the C++1x traits are different, in many *incompatible* ways, eg is_lvalue_reference / is_rvalue_reference vs is_reference. Many C++1x traits don't even compile in C++98 mode. And about the various introspection traits which you mentioned, changing those now would break *a lot* of applications which assumed for *many* years essentially PODness for yes, as the TR1 specs allowed. No way. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43549
