[2] [3] [4] When conditional compilation is done via a preprocessor that does not guarantee syntactically correct output in the source language, such as the C preprocessor, this may lead to hard-to-debug compilation errors, [5] [6] [7] which is sometimes called "#ifdef hell." [8] [9]
For #include guards to work properly, each guard must test and conditionally set a different preprocessor macro. Therefore, a project using #include guards must work out a coherent naming scheme for its include guards, and make sure its scheme doesn't conflict with that of any third-party headers it uses, or with the names of any globally visible macros.
The first C Standard specified that __STDC__ expand to "1" if the implementation conforms to the ISO standard and "0" otherwise and that __STDC_VERSION__ expand to a numeric literal specifying the version of the standard supported by the implementation. Standard C++ compilers support the __cplusplus macro. Compilers running in non-standard mode ...
The One Definition Rule (ODR) is an important rule of the C++ programming language that prescribes that classes/structs and non-inline functions cannot have more than one definition in the entire program and templates and types cannot have more than one definition by translation unit.
C++ began as a fork of an early, pre-standardized C, and was designed to be mostly source-and-link compatible with C compilers of the time. [1] [2] Due to this, development tools for the two languages (such as IDEs and compilers) are often integrated into a single product, with the programmer able to specify C or C++ as their source language.
In the C and C++ programming languages, an inline function is one qualified with the keyword inline; this serves two purposes: . It serves as a compiler directive that suggests (but does not require) that the compiler substitute the body of the function inline by performing inline expansion, i.e. by inserting the function code at the address of each function call, thereby saving the overhead ...
