re VID using multi-language: CodeView has done that for years. So has
Periscope, but it doen't mean as much.
Personal bias? Yes, I hate them all. 🙂
Watcom 7.0 was the first one I saw that claimed 100% compliance. Then came
Lattice. The hard part is the libraries– LOCALE stuff and wide characters
and all. Most of them are pretty in line for the language proper. Like I
said, I know how to make code that fits on all compilers.
C++ varients? I don't think so. X3j16 is under way, and everyone is
aiming at cfront compatability, and vendors can draw on expert advice on
interpreting the DRM when needed.
