What is A critique of the advanced placement C++ subset about?
The Educational Testing Service has decided that the Advanced Placement Examination in Computer Science will use the C++ programming language in place of Pascal. They have designed a subset of the language to be used in high school courses. This paper claims that the subset is deficient in two areas: (a) the subset is vague on which language features it contains, and (b) the proposed class library diverges significantly from the draft Standard Library.These problems stem from an attempt to come to terms with non-complying implementations. We believe that the AP C++ subset should be defined on educational criteria alone; software and textbook authors and publishers would then adapt their course material to the language subset.
