How about the UNIX System V AT&T C++ Language System Release 2.0 Product
Reference Manual Select Code 307-146.

Not quite as rigorous as ``Whatever the latest release of Cfrond does.'' but
a good starting place.  I understand that the next document from BS will be
a specification for implementers and other language lawyers -- or so he stated
at a conference last February.  When it's done it may be what you're looking
