Any new compiler support the `export` of C++ template?

[lovecreatesbeauty]

Hello all,


Do you know whether any new compiler support the `export` keyword of
C++ template feature?

When I learn the language and try to use it, I often have to give up
the part of whole template due to the absent of those features.

The only one I heard of is Comeau.

Why? Templates work fine without it.

Also a version of Borland's compiler, according to WikiPedia (which also
mentions that both compilers use the EDG front-end).

could you please be more specific. new borland c++ will use the edg
frontend?
i'm also looking for 100% compatible compiler.

thanx

Your only current chance at a 100% compatible compiler these days
is one that uses the Edison Design Group front end and the Dinkumware
C/C++ libraries. That combo has been available for the past couple of
years from Comeau (EDG + back end) and Dinkumware (libraries). Quite
a few compiler vendors license both from EDG and Dinkumware, so they
*can* offer 100% compatibility. But few such vendors are as nimble
as Comeau, or apparently in a hurry to brag about 100% conformance.

Borland is definitely one of the major compiler vendors who license
technology from EDG and Dinkumware. You'll have to ask them directly
about their plans.

The Borland EDG compiler seems to be on hold.

Intel for Linux supports export, at least since 8.0, and reportedly Intel for
Windows also supports export, but you have to know the secret handshake.

Ah, I say, remove the whole darned thing, also remove the current module
proposal, and let's get decent modules supported by the standard.

With a decent module facility a feature like 'export' may be redundant.

And I think that should be seriously investigated as a design criterion; now
it's up to the infamous SomeOne (TM) to Just Do It... ;-)
