GCC would not be the first project (free, or proprietary) that I have seen attempt to use a subset of C++. I don't think I've ever seen this succeed. Inevitably, use of certain features crawl in when there is no cleaner way to achieve something and then precedent can be used as an argument for further use. I'm a bit sceptical. Ben
