Hi there.
Not being a C++ expert, or even a frequent C++ user, I can't claim that my
information is flawless. However, to the best of my knowledge DJGPP does
have all the standard C++ functions and headers. Some features of C++, like
namespaces and extensions are broken in the current version, so don't plan
to use them. Also, templates are implemented in what I'm told is a strange
manner, but do exist. If you're just going to learn C++, I would guess DJGPP
will work fine.
