I mistyped, I meant ABI. I'm deeply sorry about that, it mangles my statement quite badly. AFAIK, this is the major reason why the C++11 support is still marked as experimental. > For example: std::shared_ptr, std::unique_ptr, std::tuple in the > standard library, and language features such as decltype, nullptr, > range-based for loops etc. std::string, std::list and probably std::shared_ptr will have to change ABI at some point. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
