Does this also work for C?

• Zenity 4y ago
  Yes, with some minor limitations as it receives much less testing. I was using 10x with The Machinery (RIP) for some time and the developer was super responsive fixing any C-specific issues (and even added some TM specific features when I asked nicely). If more people start using it for C and report any issues found, it should get even better. I would say it may even be better suited for C to some extent since that is a much simpler language with less chances for the parser to get confused by some obscure corner case. C++ really is the worst case scenario for a parsing engine, so once it works reliably for that, support for other languages should also become much more feasible.

  It's hard to imagine a C programmer so professionally ignorant that he's yet to realize C++ is a superset of C.

    Ironically your comment it's the ignorant one. Try compiling a large C codebase with g++.

    lots of good examples of why this is wrong here: https://floooh.github.io/2019/09/27/modern-c-for-cpp-peeps.html https://floooh.github.io/2019/09/27/modern-c-for-cpp-peeps.h...

    >It's hard to imagine a C programmer so professionally ignorant that he's yet to realize C++ is a superset of C. Ooof. restrict keyword enters the chat. C and C++ are two languages that evolve together, but one is not a superset of the other.

    I see this comment a lot, but it's not true (at least not any more). Many valid C programs do not compile through the C++ compiler. The standards for C++ and C have deviated over the years.
