  2. WG4 intends to develop a techical report for a class library for object-oriented programming, but the project has not yet been initiated.

Defect Reports

ISO/IEC JTC1/SC/WG4 has produced SC22 N2310, Record of Response Issue 3, containing records of response for Defect Reports 62 through 81 for ISO/IEC 1989:1985 and this was approved by SC22 in March 1997.

There are currently no Defect Reports open in WG4.
