What is the best explanation for the export keyword in the C++0x standard?

Question

I know that in the original C++0x standard there was a feature called export.

But I can\'t find a description or explanation of this feature. What is it sup

Answer 1

To put it simply:

export lets you separate the declaration (ie. header) from the definition (ie. the code) when you write your template classes. If export is not supported by your compiler then you need to put the declaration and definition in one place.
