Concepts (Revision 1) - http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2006/n2081.pdf
Concepts introduce a type system for templates that makes templates easier to use and easier to write. By checking the requirements that templates place on their parameters prior to template instantiation, concepts can eliminate the spectacularly poor error messages produced by today’s template libraries, making them easier to use. |

Right Angle Brackets (Revision 2) - http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1757.html
Explains ways to allow >> to be treated as two closing angle brackets, as well as to discuss the resulting issues. A specific option is proposed along with wording that would implement the proposal in the current working paper. |

Proposal to Add Static Assertions to the Core Language (Revision 3) - http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2004/n1720.html
The C++ language currently supports two facilities for testing software assertions: the assert macro and the #error preprocessor directive. Neither of these facilities is appropriate for use in template libraries. |
| |
Adding "extern template" (Version 2) - http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2006/n1987.htm
A number of compilers allow the programmer to suppress the implicit instantiation of templates by prefixing an explicit instantiation directive with the extern keyword. This document proposes specific semantics for this feature. |

A Brief Look at C++0x - http://www.artima.com/cppsource/cpp0x.html
Offers a sneak peek at the next version of standard C++. It briefly outlines the guiding principles of the work on C++0x, presents a few examples of likely language extensions, and lists some proposed new standard libraries. |

Memory Model for Multithreaded C++ - http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2004/n1680.pdf
Proposes integrating a memory model suitable for multithreaded execution in the C++ Standard. On top of that model, a standard threading library is proposed. |

Trip Report: Ad-Hoc Meeting on Threads in C++ - http://www.artima.com/cppsource/threads_meeting.html
The C++ standardization committee is hard at work standardizing threads for the next version of C++. Some members recently met to discuss the issues. |

Proposal to add Contract Programming to C++ (Revision 3) - http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1866.html
This proposal describes a small assertion sub-language that unifies compile-time and run-time assertions. The benefits are among others a higher degree of self-documenting source code, better design tools, and easier debugging and testing. |
| |
Modules in C++ (Revision 4) - http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2006/n2073.pdf
This paper proposes a module mechanism (somewhat similar to that of Modula-2) with three primary goals: significantly improve build times of large projects, enable a better separation between interface and implementation, and provide a viable transition path for existing libraries. |

Easier C++: An Introduction to Concepts - http://www.devx.com/SpecialReports/Article/38864
C++0x concepts bring the full power of the Generic Programming paradigm to C++, making templates more expressive, easier to write, and easier to use. Spectacularly poor template error messages are a thing of the past! |
