Argh!! C'mon... c'mon... c'mon... ObjC++ has been perpetually forthcoming for
the past two years! What does it take to get Objective-C++ in? It has been
so frustrating waiting for this. There is *so much software* which would be
trivial to reuse once this is done.
Please, just get past all of the politics and get it in!
Lots of screaming and yelling about "just do it," but nobody in the ObjC++
community so far has answered the objections brought up the last time.
Politics aren't what's keeping it out. Front-ends aren't popularity
contests; the GCC maintainers aren't going to suddenly start checking in
troublesome code just because X number of potential users really, really
want it. If you want it in 4.0, then start answering questions and propose
cleaner designs than the ones so far.
