Regarding the company in question -- my own best guess would be one that does static code analysis -- Coverity [0] comes to mind, for example. I can't really think of any other companies that would benefit greatly from having a large stock of employees that all know the C++ standard intimately. Except of course for those that write compilers, but as you say, there aren't many of those around. [0] http://www.coverity.com/ |

I can't find it now, but they published a paper that said "There is no such thing as C" in which they discuss the widely varying implementations and expectations of C, different enough that special flags had to be invented on their tool to get weird programs to pass.
