Any hopes that MSVC will add C23 support before 2040?
- nmeofthestate 11mo agoBit of a random question on an article about C.
- HexDecOctBin 11mo agoThe article clearly states that the code only works on GCC and Clang, which leaves MSVC. Not sure how the question was random.
- pjmlp 11mo agoThere are other C compilers.
- le-mark 11mo agoWill windows be relevant by 2040? I personally don’t think so.
- pjmlp 11mo agoGiven how C was seen in the past, before there was a change of heart to add C11/C17, minus atomics and aligned memory allocators (still between experimental or not going to happen), https://herbsutter.com/2012/05/03/reader-qa-what-about-vc-and-c99 https://herbsutter.com/2012/05/03/reader-qa-what-about-vc-an... https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/c11-atomics-in-visual-studio-2022-version-17-5-preview-2/ https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/c11-atomics-in-visual... https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/compatibility?view=msvc-170 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/comp... And the new guidelines regarding the use of unsafe languages at Microsoft, I wouldn't bet waiting that it will ever happen, even after 2040. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/microsoft-azure-security-evolution-embrace-secure-multitenancy-confidential-compute-and-rust/ https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/microsoft-azure-secur... https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2024/11/19/windows-security-and-resiliency-protecting-your-business/ https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2024/11/19/windo...
- HexDecOctBin 11mo agoWell, with the death of Xbox and release of raddebugger, maybe supporting VS/MSVC just isn't that important anymore. Good riddance.
- pjmlp 11mo agoPeople keep forgetting Microsoft is one of the biggest publishers in the market, given the number of owned studios. The box under the TV is a tiny part of the picture that makes Microsoft Games Studios and related subsidiaries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Microsoft_Gaming_studios https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Microsoft_Gaming_studi... If Microsoft really gets pissed due to SteamOS and Proton, there are quite a few titles Valve will be missing on.

- saghm 11mo agoIf you interpret 23 as hex, that's only five years after the year, which isn't too bad!
- cobbal 11mo agoI suppose it makes sense that every version that came after "c++0x" should be interpreted in hex.
