Here, attempting to use a non-class type in a qualified name (T::foo) results in a deduction failure for f<int> because int has no nested type named foo, but the program is well-formed because a valid function remains in the set of candidate functions.
A global identifier is declared outside of functions and is available throughout the program. A local identifier is declared within a specific function and only available within that function. [1] For implementations of programming languages that are using a compiler, identifiers are often only compile time entities.
[4] [5] Some compilers, such as Microsoft Visual C++ have, at least in the past, required the header to be included in order to use these identifiers unless a compiler flag is set. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] The header <ciso646> was deprecated in C++17 , and removed in C++20 , [ 8 ] while <iso646.h> was retained for compatibility with C. [ 9 ]
In C and C++, keywords and standard library identifiers are mostly lowercase. In the C standard library , abbreviated names are the most common (e.g. isalnum for a function testing whether a character is alphanumeric), while the C++ standard library often uses an underscore as a word separator (e.g. out_of_range ).
C and C++ are notable in this respect: C99 reserves identifiers that start with two underscores or an underscore followed by an uppercase letter, and further reserves identifiers that start with a single underscore (in the ordinary and tag spaces) for use in file scope; [1] with C++03 further reserves identifiers that contain a double ...
because the argument to f must be a variable integer, but i is a constant integer. This matching is a form of program correctness, and is known as const-correctness.This allows a form of programming by contract, where functions specify as part of their type signature whether they modify their arguments or not, and whether their return value is modifiable or not.
The evaluators for identifiers are usually simple (literally representing the identifier), but may include some unstropping. The evaluators for integer literals may pass the string on (deferring evaluation to the semantic analysis phase), or may perform evaluation themselves, which can be involved for different bases or floating point numbers.
