I do understand an attempt is going to be made to update the
Standard with the TC and provide that, but I don't know the details
and don't know if current customer will be able to get it (for free).

Could I ask whether this incorporates the C++ library or does that get
separate attention?

Thank you

Speaking of the Technical Corrigendum, is there any way we will be able to update our ISO standard pdf files (for free?) to reflect the changes? "Service packs" are usually free.

Otherwise it is going to be a pain remembering with bits have changed.

The "cwg" stands for "Core language Working Group". The corresponding
document for the "Library Working Group" has "lwg" instead of "cwg":
<http://www.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg_active.html>

That gets seperate attention, but is also available at the
above two sites (our copy of the lib part is out of date though,
don't know about dkuug's version).

There is no plan to produce a revised version of the C++ Standard
that incorporates the changes in the (first) Technical Corrigendum.
The TC in progress now does not incorporate all submitted Defect
Reports.  We expect to produce at least one more TC.  We haven't
decided whether in the future to produce revised standard
incorporating just the changes in TCs.

As has been explained many times in this forum, and in the FAQ
 http://www.research.att.com/~austern/csc/faq.html#B4
ISO and ANSI support themselves in part by sale of standards documents.
I don't know whether they will charge for TC's, but I would
expect that they will.

You can argue that standards should be free, but arguing in this forum
won't change anything.  Nobody here sets ANSI or ISO financial policy.
Try the organization web sites:
 http://www.iso.ch
 http://www.ansi.org
 http://www.ncits.org (formerly X3, charters the J16 committee)

The most recent revision of the C++ Standard Core Language Issues
List has been posted in the usual locations:

    http://www.comeaucomputing.com/iso/cwg_active.html
    http://www.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/cwg_active.html

This version includes the results of the October meeting of the
Committee.  In particular, you can get a good idea of the contents
of the upcoming Technical Corrigendum for the language section of
the Standard by looking at the list of defect reports
(cwg_defects.html).  The Committee voted to send this list of
issues to the editor as defects in the Standard and to recommend
that they be resolved as indicated in this document.
(That means that the wording of the proposed resolutions is
subject to editorial revision, but the intended outcome is as
described.)

Revision 13 of the ISO C++ Standard Core Language Issues List
is now available in the usual places:

    http://www.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/cwg_active.html
    http://www.comeaucomputing.com/iso/cwg_active.html

A number of new issues have been opened (several reported by
participants in this newsgroup) and additional discussion has
been added to a few existing issues.

We would especially appreciate any feedback on issues with
"ready" status to help us detect problems before our next
meeting (the week of 22 Oct.).
