Hello, this is slightly OT but since I got information on recent
proposals to improve C++ in this list, I presume there are people here
well informed on such matters and so ask.
Please CC me in all replies as I am currently not on the list.
In C/C++ we have provision for typing into code decimal, octal and
hexadecimal integer values:
1000
01750
0x3E8
which all mean the same. But we are not allowed to use binary values:
0b1111101000
So I wonder if this can be included into a future standard of both C and
C++. Does anyone know if this has already been suggested and accepted?
