-
- The first two are not dialects of C++ in any way.
-
- The current AT&T based products (cfront 3.0 and later) are roughly the
- ARM minus exceptions and plus a few bugs and minor unimplemented features;
- roughly the same is true of Gnu C++ (alias g++).
-
- The ARM also includes exceptions.
-
- Stroustrup's first book didn't have multiple inheritance, didn't have
- "protected", or overloading of operator new. You had to use the
- "overload" keyword to indicate that a function was overloaded. There were
- many other differences.
