    <p>In the <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2009/n2857.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">current C++0x draft</a> I've noticed they introduced some new explicit keywords to highlight expected behaviors (great move!).</p> <p>Examples: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B0x#Defaulting.2Fdeleting_of_standard_functions_on_C.2B.2B_objects" rel="nofollow noreferrer">defaulted/deleted</a> functions (<em>= default</em> and <em>= delete</em>), the new <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B0x#Null_pointer_constant" rel="nofollow noreferrer">nullptr</a> constant, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B0x#Explicit_conversion_operators" rel="nofollow noreferrer">explicit</a> keyword usable also for conversion operators, ...</p> <p>So I expected to see also a <em>= pure</em> syntax for pure virtual functions.</p> <p>Instead the ugly (IMHO, of course) <em>= 0</em> thing still exists.</p> <p>Ok, I can use a <em>#define pure 0</em> (and sometimes I do that), but I think coherency/consistency should be definitely a goal for a standard. Moreover I know it's just a sort of ultra-pedantic request, but <em>= 0</em> was indeed one of my least favorite part of C++ (euphemism)...</p> <p>My questions:</p> <ul> <li>I know, the new standard is feature-complete, but is it still possible to ask for this small pedantic addition, even just as a "required macro" thing?</li> <li>if the answer is positive, how? (any committee member around?)</li> <li>am I just a bit too pedantic (or wrong) for asking this addition? what do you think about the current syntax of pure virtual functions?</li> </ul>

    1. CO+1 from me btw. It's a perfectly good question, and I think the standards committee would love it if more people took an interest in their work. :)

    2. COThanks! As said in other comments I'm not an expert and I've just started reading the last draft (1347 pages)...

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
