, and if we’re lucky with our own set of compilers - STL.

Hi,

wrt. our (SAPs) various ports which are running on old machines, built with old compilers for compatibility, I would like to find out about the OpenJDK policy regarding 'real' C++ features. Recently, we found increasing usage of C++ features. - 'throw()' in nmethod operator new - usage of namespace std:: - template template parameters in binaryTreeDictionary.hpp|cpp We would like to know whether you are planning to increase the usage of C++ or even use C++11 features. Or, whether you are planning to keep the policy to avoid C++ features that caused problems to compilers in the past. Best regards, Goetz.
