• Eric Lohse Visual C++ 2005 compliance with The C++ Standard

  Despite a boat-load of documentation on Microsoft extensions to the C++ language, I have been unable to find a single page describing how VC++ 2005 differs from VC++ 2003 (7.1) with respect to the serious non-compliance issues that plagued users of VC++ 2003 (7.1).
