The evolving international C++ language does not say anything about memory
models (it implicitly assumes that there is only one). Nor does it either
mention or condone the use of such implementation-dependent qualifiers
as near, far, __near, __far, etc.
So if you use these things, and if you have questions about their usage,
you should address those questions to the comp.lang.c++ newsgroup... not
to the comp.std.c++ newsgroup. Those things are non-standard. Here in the
comp.std.c++ newsgroup, we only talk about what's standard (or what may
become standard).
