You are right. The thing is though that you (or third parties) can implement missing library features that do not require compiler support [1], but for the language itself you have to wait for the compiler. For example, thanks to the hyperproductive STL [2], MSVC has always had a fairly up to date library, but the compiler lagged behind. [1] For a long time libstdc++ lacked regex support, but people could get them from boost and mostly didn't care. [2] Stephan T. Lavavej, not the library :) |
