Beyond the advice given here:
https://isocpp.org/std/submit-a-proposal http://open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2012/n3370.html1 It is often useful to survey existing implementations.
2 It is also useful to know which platforms should be considered to get to a proposal with reasonable coverage.
Obviously the committee and community will add wider feedback beyond that but a jump start could be helpful.
Closed source implementations obviously must be left to committee members representing their particular
vendors and user-base but there may still be useful resources online.
Could we collect together a set of resources along those lines and add it to
isocpp.org and/or
cppreference.com?
Starting with the obvious...
Which OS platforms do we need to consider 1st? - (thinking of something like filesystem ts for example)
(recognising that all OS's should be supportable in principle)
Posix:
Linux
BSD
Windows
what else?
Which compiler implementations:
gcc
clang
what else is widely used and open source?
Which standard library implementations?
gcc libstdc++
clang cxx.llvm
are the headers for VC++ collected online with the C++ redistributable?
