It's great seeing progress made here. C/C++ will never be truly safe languages, but every little bit the compiler can help with is appreciated, esp by those maintaining established codebases.
- ho_schi 2y agoCPP2/cppfront: https://github.com/hsutter/cppfront https://github.com/hsutter/cppfront I hope we see this in C++26 as optional mode i.e. #safe and #unsafe and same for #impdef or so.

- ho_schi 2y agoA wannabe replacement by…Herb Sutter. I dare to differ.
- pjmlp 2y agoWhich is exactly why he pretends to not be a wannabe replacement, as it is politically incorrect to have the chair of ISO C++ to also propose a C++ replacement. CFront wasn't C, nor Objective-C was C, even though both originally started as macro preprocessors targeting C code generation, and were like Typescript for C. They became their own thing, after enough user based was won, and nowadays all major C compilers and standard libraries are written in C++, not C.
