Why wasn't yield added to C++0x?

Question

I have been using yield in many of my Python programs, and it really clears up the code in many cases. I blogged about it and it is one of my site\'s popular pages.

Answer 1

Adding a keyword is always tricky, because it invalidates previously valid code. You try to avoid that in a language with a code base as large as C++.

The evolution of C++ is a public process. If you feel yield should be in there, formulate an appropriate request to the C++ standard committee.

You will get your answer, directly from the people who made the decision.
