C++14 Is Complete

QPoint

Well, Qt maps EVERYTHING. There is QList, QMap and i am very sure there is a QMatrix no matter std::matrix exists or not ...
I am unsure whether a standard math lib is really 100% a good thing or not...

From a numerics point of view, C++ is still about as usable as it was back in C++03. At least they expanded on random number generators.

Yup. VERY usable and flexible.

Wow, the committee is working fast nowadays. Great news. C++ is becoming much more usable with the additions and changes. I've been working with C++11 the past few months and I can't imagine going back to C++98/2003.

Meanwhile, everyone continues to make their own Point and Matrix classes ... and their own numerics functions (like cross product). It's not a big deal until you start working with lots of other libraries that each have their own Point and Matrix class that you have to convert to/from.

I seriously believe they should standardize a very basic N-D Point/Vector utility struct/class with basic operations (some of which exist with obscure names in <numeric>). The same goes with Matrix, and while contentious, I'm not suggesting to standardize some crazy sparse Matrix/Vector data structure but something that can be used to do, oh, solve small dense linear systems efficiently and in a numerically stable way. Maybe throw SVD and eigenvalue algorithms in there (everyone keeps rewriting these too ... let's see, Linpack, Lapack, OpenCV, Eigen ... am I missing any?).

But yeah, QPoint, vnl_vector, vtkMatrix, vnl_matrix, QMatrix, boost? This is really really stupid. These utility classes and many algorithms associated with them are so common that they really should be standard.

From a numerics point of view, C++ is still about as usable as it was back in C++03. At least they expanded on random number generators.

I so wish that Linux had a reasonable way to use the newest C++ compilers on older systems.

It is a nightmare making a library in C++11 that will compile and link against software built with older GCC. Weird and crazy things with -Bsymbolic and static linking of libgcc and libstdc++. It's just not worth doing. So I can't use it.

I've got to hold back to lowest common denominator so I can build on Ubuntu 10.04 and CentOS 5. I feel so sorry for myself.

The biggest part of the fight is? fighting haters, as always.
