Actually, this is a wrong question. You probably want to know whether
the C++ compiler and the C++ class libraries that were ported to DJGPP
comply to the ANSI/ISO C++ Standard. DJGPP is not a compiler, it's a
library and a run-time environment that allow to run 32-bit
protected-mode programs on top of DOS and Windows. The compiler we
use is GCC, the GNU C/C++ compiler, ported to DJGPP, and the C++
libraries developed by the GNU project.
As to whether GCC and the C++ class library comply with the standard,
the answer (AFAIK) is ``almost''. The compiler doesn't support
namespaces yet (it accepts and ignores the relevant keywords), and
there are a few minor known bugs. For more details, see
