    C++ standards

    hi,

    Does Turbo c++ compiler conforms with ANSI standards. Becaues I am using Turbo C++ 3.0 compiler. But it doesn't support the type "bool" and namespaces.

    You probably have an older version that doesn't support the new ISO standard.

    My best code is written with the delete key.

    A valid question would be, "does any compiler fully support the standard?", I've yet to find one.

    Well... in fact most do. You can include parameters that will make them compile to fully ANSI/ISO. Like the '-ansi -pedantic' for gcc I learned on this forum some time ago. (Btw, I didn't take the '-pedantic' pun lightly)

    But, unfortunately, when you do that you are in for a nasty surprise. No matter how tidy your code is, the fact is that the libs that come with those compilers aren't fully compliant. I had the standard lib issuing errors all over when I tried the above on mingw

    So, instead of having a fully portable language like it could be described (and it was intended) we have yet another spaghetti one simply because library designers aren't as "pedantic" as they should be.
