C++0x and Overview

Just watched C++0x and Overview, interesting talk by Bjarne Stroustrup. Worth a watch, and good to see a Theora version of the video :) Adding std::breakpoint() would be one of my library feature wishes, to allow better integration with debuggers in a cross-platform way (raising a SIGTRAP signal); along with symbol name look-up and demangling like the GNU/Linux glibc linker/loader supports (dladdr). Shame we have to wait to 2009 though! nullptr keyword has got to be good though, definitely better than the current NULL defined in header solution (which is also an int 0!).
