Do any of you know if there are any
C++ compilers out there with support
for the 'export' keyword?

Regards,

Martin

Yes, and the oversight was corrected in a later (non-public) draft.

I may be missing something obvious here, but in the Dec. 96 DWP,

  14   Templates                                                  [temp]

  1 A template defines a family of types or functions.
            template-declaration:
                    exportopt template < template-parameter-list >
declaration
            template-parameter-list:

  6 A  non-inline  template  function  or a static data member template
is
    called an exported template if its definition is preceded by the
key-
    word  export  or  if it has been previously declared using the
keyword

So there is an "export" keyword that can be used with template
declarations.
I assume it was just an oversight that "export" is _not_ listed as a
keyword
in Table 3 of section 2.11 [lex.key].  Is this correct?
