Portable game engine - C or C++?

I would no longer call them trivial as for above mentioned C99 features. And not all C99 features will also be supported in C++0x.
That is not to say, of course, that most C is also C++. But a significant amount is not.

I think C++ 0x has a quite a long road before it will be approved, because i think they had 2010 as a deadline and they didn't make it.
Btw, how about SIMD support on mobile processors?

Funny how years and years of language development and learning can change an outdated original goal, isn't it? I don't think he would consider C++ "C with Classes" today, and indeed, he spends a lot of time trying to explain to educators that C++ is its own language and needs to be taught differently than learning C features and then C++ features.

As I understand it, the deadline is March 2011. Mind you some compilers already support it.

This has got nothing to do with C++, and everything to do with the CPU manufacturers.

I know it hasn't have anything to do with C++, but still it is about portability, and I know too little about what kind of CPUs are on the majority of the phones. I know ARM architecture is very popular, but are there any others that I should care about?
