Paolo Carlini <paolo.carlini at oracle dot com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED Resolution| |INVALID --- Comment #4 from Paolo Carlini <paolo.carlini at oracle dot com> 2012-01-25 15:00:26 UTC --- Marc gave you an important practical advice and rationale, but as matter of principle is more important that the function is *non standard*, really if you use that you are *outside* the new C++11 Standard, is that clear? And the name isn't uglified thus even if we wanted we could not add it and remain conforming. This issue is invalid.
