I think it might, but "claims to implement the full standard" is not the  
same as "claims to be fully standards-compliant" which of course is not  
the same as "is fully standards-compliant".

Strictly speaking, it is impossible to be fully compliant to ISO  
14882-1998 since the standard itself contains self-contradictions. I think  
most (hopefully all) of those have been dealt with for the upcoming  
revision of the standard though.

But it's also "useful" to make the default an ACTIVE breakpoint!

Or you can enable/disable them by hand while debugging.

Hey, when somebody starts writing "DIM" statements, *then* you can 
worry! ;-)

  I think a lenient way of interpreting "fully standards-compliant" is
that the features of the C++ standard that the compiler implements are
implemented *exactly* like the standard specifies, and there are no
non-standard extensions (or, at the very least, there's a compiler option
to make it consider using them an error).

  Many of the most modern C++ compilers implement almost all the C++98
standard features except export templates.

  Care to give a concrete example?

Spore. heh. Opinions about the game are pretty polarized. Either people 
love it or hate it. I'm in the "Love It" camp. Eats away countless 
hours. So many paths to take ...

Yeah, what Warp said. Especially for Windows programming. MFC makes the 
wall a little less vertical, but still pretty steep. Of course, Express 
doesn't have MFC, so you're stuck with the Platform SDK.
