C/C++
Hi List
I have some knowledge of C/C++ and would like to build more knowledge upon it. Whats the best place to start with from the point of view of Standards.

>>Conformance test comparison of some compilers (would have been nice if gcc/g++ was included)
It is included. MinGW uses the GNU (g++) compiler.

I forgot, I even played with MinGW a few years ago.

Thank you for your comments
BTW what are the current C/C++ Standards

See my post ;)
Note that different compilers will follow different versions of the standard, and most of them will not follow it 100%. That's what the conformance tests that were mentioned earlier are all about.

None of them currently support the C++ standard 100%.
The Comeau compiler is the only commercial compiler that can come close to supporting 100% of the C++ standard.
There are things in the current C++ standard, that will most likely NEVER get adopted by the major compilers.
FYI:
Another good site to go to, is the boost site, which offers a portable library that extends the current C++ standard library, and it's free.
