- Nonsense. All sane C++ programmers should have the ARM. Its the closest
- thing to a definition, pending ARM version 2, hint hint, or the ANSI C++
- getting a result soon. Given that the language is changing rapidly,
- the ARM is the target, and certainly I wouldn't trust any one compiler.

-
- Absolutely agree. If you doing C++, invest in the ARM. No negotiation.
-
- The best 100DM/ 30pounds/ 50$ you can spend on the language.
-
- Then you get to flame compiler vendors for not sticking to it ...
-
- : I learned C++by reading the ARM (and a couple of other books as well).
-
- I learned it by debugging cfront 1.1 a long time ago, and I've been in
- the C++ business ever since.
