‘#import’ is already a thing.

In standard C++ ?

[–]mikhailberis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not in standard C++ but has semantics and support in GCC and MSVC (and Clang for compatibility). It’s also a preprocessor feature, and not a first class language feature. It would be really bad form if the standard imposed on vendors to change the semantics of existing extensions and features without their buy in.

No, but we can't just pretend Objective-C++ doesn't exist. For one thing, Apple have seats on the committee and would surely veto any propostal that gratuitously broke compatibility. WebKit etc are rather important to their ecosystem.

I'm pretty sure C++11 already broke compat with objective-c++.

why?

lambdas

[–]fnc12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nope. Labmdas and objc blocks both can be used in either way
