all this is pretty clear, so the change has been done from 4.2 to 4.3

4.3 is not ... which is funny.

I even remember to have read something about the .h files, when I was
installing 4.3, but not pretty sure. I think it was over two years ago.
so is g++-4.3 ISO C++ ? I'm just curious, because I would bet no.

And I still don't understand what's the problem with the old code ... if it
has been working in 4.2, why not make it work in 4.3 ... or somebody got
tired of making it work ... or it's even more complicated. In the latter
case I don't want to know - yes/no is fine.

thanks in advance - the ISO C++ was good one. So I need a book about iso c++
in 21 days :-D
