Walter, There are so many projects on which I would deploy DMC++ but can't because they require pieces of Boost and other high-end C++ libraries. There are so many people to whom I recommend DMC++ who then come back at me with the same complaint. DMC++ already has pretty good namespace support. Is it really a bear to get the full-up namespaces in there? What is the hardest part of that work? Do you have a guesstimate on a timeframe? It seems like DMC++ has lots of C99 features that no one uses yet, while still lacking the namespace support that everyone needs. I love the C99 stuff too but the namespace problem is killing me...

One more: IMO it would make more sense to first concentrate on making DMC++ standard compliant than to spend time in a new D language. - Heinz

Mark Evans <Mark_member pathlink.com> D and C++ can help each other. Attracting more users to DMC++ is a simple way to attract more users to D. The quality of the DMC++ compiler is also something that will attract people to D.

Sorry about that. I had promised to fix some problems with D first. I don't really know how hard yet it will be to fix all the namespace issues. I did the C99 stuff because they were both easy, nobody else had done them, and some of the back end work needed to be done for D anyway.

Am pretty sure its not news, but the lack of member-templates is quite a hassle. In fact, later versions of the compiler seem to work with some member-templates, but not all. I'll narrow this down and post an example.

8.29 should work with all member templates. I need an example of any bugs.
