I have a copy of “The C++ Standard (Incorporating Technical Corrigendum No.
1)” on my bookshelf. Let’s see ... flip-flip ... the highest page number is
782. Definitely closer to 1000 than 100.
As for Ada ... I don’t have any printed manual, but
dpkg-query -L ada-reference-manual | grep -c html/aarm95tc1
counts 353 HTML pages for the annotated reference.
I found it fairly tedious to read the lot. But then, I didn’t even try to do
that with the C++ spec...
