Issue 3401: void * operations on Any? (cxx_revision) Source: Triodia Technologies Pty Ltd (Mr. Michi Henning, michi(at)triodia.com) Nature: Uncategorized Issue Severity: Summary: I seem to remember that we decided to deprecate the void * functions on type Any. However, looking at the latest C++ draft, they are not marked as deprecated. Can anyone remember what we decided to do? Is this a bug in the spec or a bug in my memory?

We need to update the spec to clearly mark these abomiations as deprecated ;-) Cheers, Michi.

I'd call this a bug in the spec. The description of the value accessor function mentions deprecation, but my memories match yours in that I believe we deprecated the whole lot. The spec should clearly say so. If nobody objects, Michi, why not make it an official issue? --steve
