Thanks for the replies. I hadn't thought to look in the Appendix
folder. I'd
like clarification on what you mean by Apple "owning" Obj-C; if gcc can
hand
Obj-C code, then how can Apple "own" the language? Also, C was in
trouble
before the ISO/ANSI standard - is Obj-C in for the same ride? Apple has
been
making lots of improvements to gcc lately and I hope that work is
benefiting
the community. Does anyone know Apple's plans for the language? Will it
be
pushed on other platforms at all? Thanks again in advance.
I think it means that Apple owns the definition of Objective C, can
define what the language is, how it will evolve, and what can and cannot
be named Objective C. There are already several implementations of
Objective C on different platforms, and nothing to worry about in my
opinion.
