C++11 Now the Confirmed Name
Yesterday, I wrote a post about the fact that C++0x was unanimously approved.
Today, we got confirmation from Geneva that they will officially publish the new C++ standard in a matter of weeks with the name “ISO/IEC 14882:2011(E) Programming Languages — C++, Third Edition“, which means we can start calling it C++11
See also Herb Sutter’s update on his blog.
Now I can finalize the last pieces for my “Professional C++, Second Edition” book (Wiley/Wrox).
This is a great day for the C++ world! 🙂

Exactly. A few months ago, I already decided to use the name C++11 everywhere in my book.
Now it turns out that that was a good bet 🙂
