You can choose the level of abstraction in C++
Which means you can do low or high level whatever you like
And i think the concept of zero-overhead abstraction came from it

C++ is a superset of C
And C# Is a superset of C++

auto a = malloc(10);
Worked in C++
Pavel
Well, you can use it as a memory pool, for example
Also objects pool, but I would use C++ with std::vector for that :)
BinaryByter
but we are talking about C
MᏫᎻᎯᎷᎷᎬᎠ
Hmm
MᏫᎻᎯᎷᎷᎬᎠ
Yeah
MᏫᎻᎯᎷᎷᎬᎠ
You are right
MᏫᎻᎯᎷᎷᎬᎠ
C++ is stronger in typing
BinaryByter
thats why I say that calling C++ a superset of C is highly moronic
Daniele°
And C++ isn't a superset of C
MᏫᎻᎯᎷᎷᎬᎠ
thats why I say that calling C++ a superset of C is highly moronic
Not totally
C++ is still had some C syntax

google what a superset is
superset
[′sü·pər‚set]
(computer science)
A programming language that contains all the features of a given language and has been expanded or enhanced to include other features as well.

Whatever
It's useless topic
Pavel
There are actually some crazy features, that C has that are missing in C++ (crazy, because I'm not used to it, of course). I work with a guy who is talking about such features every time he has a chance :)
BinaryByter
What I miss most in C++ from C is the feature of
int a = <>;
int b[a];
BinaryByter
honestly, its so convenient - especially in kernel dev
Mihail
What I miss most in C++ from C is the feature of
int a = <>;
int b[a];
The gnu extensions that you truly love have VLAs
BinaryByter
In C, we have to hack it together with int b[1];
Mihail
Btw in C++ you could simply use an alloca
MᏫᎻᎯᎷᎷᎬᎠ
What I miss most in C++ from C is the feature of
int a = <>;
int b[a];
Wait what?!
<>?
MᏫᎻᎯᎷᎷᎬᎠ
A variable that hold any integer?!
MᏫᎻᎯᎷᎷᎬᎠ
What kind of shit that?!
Mihail
Just put 10 if you want
BinaryByter
but what i mean about
int*b[a];
is that b is expressed to have a elements
BinaryByter
if I do
int*b [1];
I will have to comment somewhere how much data it can actually hold
MᏫᎻᎯᎷᎷᎬᎠ
He just put that there to illustrate that there's some value
So it's a not a syntax
BinaryByter
This might seem irellevant normally, but in kernel dev, since you don't allocate anything, it doesnt matter
Mihail
BinaryByter
int *b[1]; //is meant to hold 100 ints
or for sake of this argument
//is meant to hold a ints
Mihail
Simply int *b = std::alloca(a);
Mihail
Well yea
BinaryByter
also, in some scenarios you might want the array to start at pointer n, but you don't know how long it will be
MᏫᎻᎯᎷᎷᎬᎠ
This might seem irellevant normally, but in kernel dev, since you don't allocate anything, it doesnt matter
Why You don't allocate anything?!
BinaryByter
in kernel dev, every byte of ram is yours to have
