This is not new material -- it simply will be an aid for C++
programmers because it collates a bunch of information from around the
document into a single list.
We think that this is a Good Thing for the following reasons:
- Some of the names are different between C and C++ in 1.2 (the C++
names are J&E conformant, while the C names are not)
- Some of the C/Fortran 1.1/1.2 functions are being discouraged, and
are not included in the C++ bindings. These should be specifically
noted.
- There are some new functions that do not have counterparts in
C/Fortran for 1.2, such as the Status access functions. These also
should be specifically noted.
Any objections? (I'm volunteering free work here, who in their right
mind would turn it down? :-)
