RE: Which version of C++

Bart,

Actually, it has just occurred to me that in the sentence "This standard
defines SystemC® as an ANSI standard C++ class library", it is SystemC
that is being referred to as an ANSI standard, not C++. This is correct,
of course: SystemC is an ANSI standard by virtue of being an IEEE
standard. I will add a qualifying sentence saying C++ is ISO/IEC
14882:2003.

Philipp, Bart,

That is the version currently cited in IEEE 1666-2005 (well, apart from
the (E) on the end).
[BVt] except in the very first ?scope? section, which is where I got the
note from?

So I don't see that there is any issue, or is Bart saying we should NOT
cite a specific issue?
[BVt] no, we should list one, but preferably the current standard rather
than still referring to ?ANSI?

John,

IMHO, this is the correct document/version to refer to.
The full reference number is

  ISO/IEC 14882:2003(E)

according to my copy.

  It may be sufficient to refer to the '98 version of C++, I suppose.
But I don't see a benefit from it since all relevant implementations of
C++ support C++'03 well enough.

Greetings from Oldenburg,
  Philipp
