Re: C++0x

It should be noted that the C library that Wind River comes with isn't even C99 compatible, and doesn't even have the TR1 extensions for C++ (but a lot of that is just STL/Boost stuff, so thats easily remedied)... so in my estimation getting a C++0x compatible compiler/library from them probably won't happen anytime in the near future.

Now if you really wanted the latest and greatest support for this stuff, theoretically you could just get the newest version of the gcc compiler and get it to cross compile for PPC, and figure out how to install it in the right places for Wind River to use it. Then you would automagically get all the new extensions and whatnot. Obviously, this is easier said than done, particularly on a Windows platform.
