To my knowledge, EGCS implements the entire ANSI C++ language. (I may be misinformed, of course.)
On the other hand, the C++ *library* that ships with EGCS, a.k.a. "libstdc++", is quite deficient.
On the gripping hand, work on libstdc++ proceeds apace.

I agree that MI is not a good general-purpose tool. But it has specific limited value in specific limited cases. One nice idiom, for example, is mix-ins with MI and abstract classes. (This is the closest thing in C++ to Java's "interface" feature, AFAIK.) -- Chip Salzenberg - a.k.a. - <chip@perlsupport.com> "When do you work?" "Whenever I'm not busy."
