Can anyone clarify '''ANSI C++''' ? No wonder there's no link to such a thing, as for all I remember, '''ANSI C++''' is the same [[C plus plus|C++]] as the one we have an article for. I'm changing the link, but if I'm mistaken and there is such a thing as ANSI C++ that needs another article, be my guest, change it over. --[[User:CrashandDie|CrashandDie]] 12:58, 25 January 2007 (EST)
:Ehm, I'm not sure to fully understand your point, but I'll try to answer. Briefly put, "C++" is the language while "ANSI C++" (or ISO/IEC C++) is the standard definition of that language (well, they're two in fact: ISO/IEC 14882:1998 and ISO/IEC 14882:2003, which are commonly referred as ANSI C++ 1998 and ANSI C++ 2003, the point being that the ANSI C++ Committee and the ISO C++ Committee usually work together and so the documents are more or less the same for the two organizations). Also for the C language there are two articles here around: http://www.rosettacode.org/wiki/C and http://www.rosettacode.org/wiki/ANSI_C. The first is about the characteristics of the language, the latter is about standardization, and it isn't specific to the version/year, nor the examples I've seen here around are usually too specific about the version of ANSI C (two again: C80/C89 and C99). I was trying to be consistent with that.
:That said, I'm not sure at all that "ANSI C++" needs another separated article, the two could be merged just as "C" and "ANSI C" could. I suggest to be consistent, though.
