DESCRIPTION:<notextile>\nC++0x is an effort to embody the ideals of C++\, 
 rather than a mere increment of C++98. This talk will illustrate C++'s gen
 eral design principles\, and the language constructs that support them. Th
 e description of C++0x is aimed at a general computer science audience rat
 her than just at C++ experts. The focus of the talk will be the support fo
 r the design and implementation of libraries\, using object-oriented and g
 eneric programming techniques. Major language features discussed include c
 lasses\, exceptions\, and templates. And the new (C++0x) facilities mentio
 ned include concepts\, initializer lists\, auto\, rvalue constructors\, an
 d garbage collection. Prof Stroustrup will briefly summarize the state of 
 the ISO C++ standard effort\, and the additions culminating in C++0x.\n</n
