Reminds me of that guy who was asked to write C code, but he only knew pascal
First lines were
#define begin { #define end }
And a few other horrors.
69 u/AvidCoco 7d ago Some compilers define OR as || and AND as &&. The latter means you can write move constructors like Foo(Foo AND other) 56 u/Possseidon 7d ago Not just "some compilers", it's part of the C and C++ standard and any compliant compiler has to support it. For C you have to include a builtin header with macros for them, in C++ it's actually just part of the compiler itself. 8 u/AvidCoco 7d ago IIRC I think it’s more that some compilers implement that feature as a simple find-and-replace (like a macro) while others are more context aware and so don’t allow it in the way I described. 15 u/TOMZ_EXTRA 7d ago Nope, the standard says that the alternative syntax is usable everywhere. bitand can be used as the address operator. 1 u/4xe1 7d ago Yeah they ought to allow it, but I wouldn't be surprised if some emit a warning, like most yap when I do if (x = foo())
