Cairo 2D Graphics May Become Part of ISO C++

[sl4shd0t]

An anonymous reader sends this news from Phoronix: "The C++ standards committee is looking at adopting a Cairo C++ interface as part of a future revision to the ISO C++ standard to provide 2D drawing. Herb Sutter, the chair of the ISO C++ standards committee, sent out a message to the Cairo developers this week about their pursuit to potentially standardize a basic 2D drawing library for ISO C++. The committee right now is looking at using a C++-ified version of Cairo. Sutter wrote, 'we are currently investigating the direction of proposing a mechanically C++-ified version of Cairo. Specifically, "mechanically C++-ified" means taking Cairo as-is and transforming it with a one-page list of mechanical changes such as turning _create functions into constructors, (mystruct*, int length) function parameters to vector& parameters, that sort of thing — the design and abstractions and functions are unchanged.'" http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Cairo+2D+Graphics+May+Become+Part+of+I SO+C%2B%2B%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F1ey5pE3) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F14%2F01%2F04%2F2115249%2Fcairo-2d-graphics-may-become-part-of-iso-c%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://developers.slashdot.org/story/14/01/04/2115249/cairo-2d-graphics-may-become-part-of-iso-c?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
