C++0x

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I propose start using C++0x standard. It has a lot of new mechanism which make 
easier translate python to C++. For example: tuples, auto type, new for loop.

thanks for the suggestion. I agree! variadic templates are probably most useful 
for shedskin.

but the thing is, many shedskin users are still on older versions of GCC (OSX, 
debian stable..). so I don't know if we want to depend on C++0x at this point. 
that will come, though! :)

I think if users get Shedskin with a lot of new features, they will want 
install new version of GCC.

sorry for the late reply. 

I don't think there will be lots of new features, just a bit of performance 
improvements here and there (mostly because variadic templates make boxing 
unnecessary).

Well, lambdas can be used to implement closures, and std::function has uses, 
too:

std::function<int(int)> f(int v)
{
    std::function<int(int)> myfunc = [&](int a)->int { return v; };
    return myfunc;
}

auto res = f();
std::cout << res(7) << std::endl; // prints 7
