But Jason, the compiler worked properly in rejecting invalid syntax. Now you're suggesting it fails to do so. This suggests a real regression and a real bug: the new feature should have an enabling flag that couldn't have been set before it was implemented, and without that flag should create the same error in the current version.
The current version gives an error "ISO C++ does not include variadic templates" unless you enable C++0x mode. And then crashes.
But in any case, nobody has code that relies on getting an error from a previous version of the compiler that would be broken by moving to 4.3. Only regressions on valid code seem serious enough to me to warrant blocking a release.
BTW: did WG21 already pass this proposal?
Yes, a few meetings back. Jason
