I thought that was C? Or am I misunderstanding, and you're using C++ because it's more advanced and can still be used anywhere C can?
- a1369209993 6y agoMicrosoft is somewhat notorious for not correctly supporting C in Visual Studio. There's MinGW, which basically works, but it arguably doesn't count as 'native' support. I've heard people claim that recent versions of VS are better, but I've also heard people claim that they just corrupted the standards process to get everything they didn't support relegated to optional extensions, so... [shrug].
- asddubs 6y agoyou can also use clang these days without MinGW AFAIK
- sn_master 6y agoYes, you're right, C is more accurate, tho C has been getting more and more C++ features over time.
