Are you sure you don't mean semantically difficult. With the exception of a few dark corners (meta programming, function pointers) the syntax is basically the same as another language. Learning that && denotes an rvalue reference is easy. Trying to understand what that means though is a lot more difficult
- dfox 11y agoActually, C++ syntax is so complex that you cannot use parser generators to parse it as it's grammar is not context-free. There are even some informal proofs that C++'s syntax is undecidable (as is Perl's and Common Lisp's, where it's obvious). C++ semantics is completely another can of worms.
